JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The chief executive of Anglo American Platinum said on Wednesday court action might be taken to have a four-week strike against it and other platinum producers declared illegal given alleged violence by the AMCU union.

Chris Griffith was speaking at a media briefing along with chief executives of Lonmin and Impala Platinum. Their operations have been hit by the same strike, which has no end in sight in light of the fact that the two sides remain poles apart on the issue of wages.
