JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - AngloGold Ashanti said on Wednesday it will fire about 12,000 wildcat strikers after they ignored a deadline to return to work by noon (0500 ET).
"The deadline has now passed and that means the process of issuing dismissals would begin now," company spokesman Alan Fine said.
