Bosnian miners dig underground for higher pay.
In Bosnia-Hercegovina, a group of miners decided to trap themselves inside a coal mine.
They are outraged at their bosses for not keeping true to their word about their paychecks.
In a report by BBC News, the 140 miners dug themselves over 800-feet deep below the ground at the Djurdjevik coal mine on Monday.
It's located north-east of the capital, Sarajevo.
The miners are angry at the mining company's recent move in hiring a new official - breaking an agreement they had not to do it - until the miner's wages went up.
Mining worker's Union leader Said Muhic calls the situation 'really dramatic.'
Besides refusing to negotiate with managers, he added the miners threaten to go on a hunger strike if the demand for higher wages are not met.
The Bosnian government has a large stake in the Djurdjevik coal mine.
It employs over a thousand people.

Discussions of military retaliation against Syria continue
The Arab League is calling for the United Nations and the international community to take action against President Bashar Al Assad’s Syrian regime and its alleged chemical attacks.
According to Aljazeera, the foreign ministers met in Cairo yesterday where they discussed the idea of a potential military strike on the country.
A statement was released saying that the culprits responsible for the chemical warfare should face trial.
Earlier that day, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal and the Syrian opposition agreed to back a US strike on Syria to protect the Syrian people.
But not everyone is in agreement.
Influential members of the League, like Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Algeria and Tunisia, opposed the plan for foreign military intervention.
Egypt’s foreign minister stated that his country objected to any aggression in Syria.
The chemical attacks launched by Assad’s regime on August 21 killed more than 1,400 people.

Premier of Nunavut wants more control over resource development
The projected upcoming job boom in Canada’s mining industry has Nunavut asking for more control over development.
CBC News reports, that Nunavut Premier Eva Aariak is pushing Ottawa to relinquish some power and allow the territory more control over resource development.
Nunavut currently has one mine in operation. The Agnico-Eagles Meadowbank gold mine has a 30 per-cent contribution to the territory’s yearly GDP. Four more mines are currently being developed.
There is some opposition in the form of the watchdog which tracks environmental and sustainability issues around mining.
They have said that the premier should diversify instead of relying mainly on mining.
The Nunavut territory created in 1999 is the only jurisdiction where major decisions about land and resources are made in Ottawa.
140 000 jobs are forecast to be created in the territory’s mining sector within the next few years.

Rolling for rights
The Movement Citoyen Handicap-Québec staged a slow-moving, peaceful protest Sunday to demand equal rights for the disabled.
The participants, those severely disabled, sight impaired and otherwise unable to work in traditional jobs, made their way from Lafontaine Park to Premier Pauline Marois’ office in traditional and motorized wheelchairs.
According to the Gazette, the MCHQ claims it is the first demonstration of its kind to bring attention to problems in the provinces social aid program.
Protestors held signs that read: ‘Not Dead Yet’ and ‘Suffocating in Poverty, Let us Breathe!’ saying the current social aid program unfairly targets the disabled and forces many of them to live in poverty.
They want changes to be made to the program, more caregiving allocated so they can stay at home, and not to be placed in long-term homes with the elderly and unwell; something they say is actually more costly to the government.
And in the case of marriage, according to current welfare rules, couples where a spouse is disabled that earn over $1,200 a month in gross income have social assistance cut off.
Unfortunately, no one was at the Premiers office to greet the protesters when they arrived, as it was a holiday weekend.
