For reading I read a story called War in Waihi and I wrote what the miners wanted to happen.

• We want to be paid more because we are  paid less than other miners in the country and  we have  to work faster.

• Our working conditions are terrible  like after an explosion  we have to work in the dust which can give us  a deadly lung disease.

• We are expected to work extremely fast in all conditions  and even dangerous ones.

• No one wants to help us because they don’t  want to cause any trouble for the mine by taking sides.
