Default Miners fired for uploading Harlem Shake vid
Youtube video


Quote:
A group of miners in Australia have been fired after uploading a video of them performing the own version of the 'Harlem Shake' underground.

The BBC says that up to 15 employees – some of whom were only watching the stunt, rather than taking part themselves – of the Agnew Mine in Western Australia by Barminco after they were deemed to have flaunted safety regulations.

Although Barminco could not be reached for comment, a dismissal letter sent to employees and obtained by the West Australian newspaper said that the dance had breached "core values of safety, integrity and excellence". Meanwhile, Sven Lunsche from mine owners Gold Field said of the decision: "Safety and mining is absolutely pivotal and that is the main reason why Barminco acted the way it did," Sven Lunsche from Gold Fields told the BBC.

According to an anonymous worker, however, the group participating in the dance hadn't endangered safety measures and that they were only "having a bit of fun".

They're very clearly not even doing anything dangerous in the video, what an overreaction.

Because I simply implied your unnecessary gloating about people getting fired wasn't okay? K honeybee disappear.

I agree tbh, I know they were only having a laugh but mines are fragile environments and they were being payed to work. Health and safety isnt there for no reason. That and I think anyone who does the harlem shake should be put down, it wasnt that funny the first time and its still not funny
