The Martian Miners

The union-management talks reach stalemates in their sessions. Our representatives are attempting to gain concessions. If we do not obtain better working conditions and a pay hike, we see no other alternative but to go on strike. On the slopes of Olympus Mons, we descend underground. Inside this mine, deposits of titanium can be found. If we go further, we can find gold and platinum. In abundance are other metals like silver and palladium. There are large untapped veins we can easily see. Industries on Earth have been grateful for their discovery. As a result, market prices for commodities have gone down. Our location has been a booming Martian mining town. The way the management has treated us has been pitiful. It seems as if they are discourteous and ungrateful. Despite dim light in the day, and subzero temperatures at night, I have every belief in what we are doing is right.
