More than 9,000 mining workers are continuing to strike at a massive gold and copper mine in West Papua owned by Freeport McMoRan. Workers are threatening to stay off the job for a full month. The strike started on Sept. 15, just a month after thousands of people rallied in West Papua calling for independence from Indonesia after more than 40 years.
