## Resource

Miners at Montana’s Stillwater Mine are striking over disputed incentive pay and benefit cuts, with nearly 90% turnout showing deep frustration. The union says workers feel undervalued and unsafe, while Sibanye claims financial losses force tough choices—arguing the new plan actually boosts total payouts. Negotiations stalled after apparent progress, with the company citing a prior tentative agreement. Strikers are supported by a community rallying around them, even as a strike fund delays until the third week and a supplemental fund kicks in now. Pickets are currently in Columbus and Nye, with possible expansion. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
