On May 30, workers demanding better pay went on strike at Brazilian steelmaker Companhia Siderurgica Nacional's (CSN) Casa da Pedra iron ore mine, located in the central Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The strike highlights the inconsistency between inflation across the Brazilian economy and the stability of salaries.
According to the union, the mine employs 2,300 workers and produces 60,000 metric tons of iron ore a day.
