African mining unions have launched a regional network, AMNet, to improve coordination on workers' rights, health and safety, supply-chain accountability, and Just Transition amid the continent's critical minerals boom. The network aims to address fragmented union organisation, precarious work, weak safety enforcement, and cross-border challenges including the increasing presence of Chinese mining firms.
