Abstract: | It was a classic case requiring crisis management. A group of union gold miners walked off the job. Another group of miners from the same union crossed the picket line. Then, on the morning of September 18, 1992, a misterious explosion killed nine miners. Accident or homicide? fortunately, most companies with labour unions will never deal with a crisis of this magnitude. However, crises do occur, and the way they are handled can be a key element in a firm's survival and financial health. Crisis management is the term generally used to describe the process of handling these troublesome events. |
