SAFRICA-STRIKE-ECONOMY

Striking workers hold placards as they demonstrate on the first day of a nationwide strike called by South Africa's National Union of Metalworkers (NUMSA) to demand a pay raise of up to 12 percent and better working conditions, in Johannesburg Central Business District on July 1, 2014. Nearly a quarter of a million members of South Africa's largest union downed tools on July 1, beginning an indefinite strike that threatens to bring the engineering sector to a halt. The strike is expected to hit more than 10,000 metals and engineering firms that account for about four percent of South African economic output, according to economists at Citigroup.
