This is a rather odd sounding sentence.

Grayster Grayster June 13, 2010 June 13, 2010 at 10:16:25 PM UTC link Permalink

It's in the context of a mine.

I guessed as much, but unless they're on strike won't they produce ore anyway? The Japanese also looks odd. The use of 人間 makes it look like some kind of proverb or saying.

Grayster Grayster June 14, 2010 June 14, 2010 at 3:31:10 AM UTC link Permalink

It's uttered by a manager to treat the workers better.

blay_paul blay_paul June 14, 2010 June 14, 2010 at 4:00:05 AM UTC link Permalink

Maybe "Treat men well and the ore will come." ? I think it sounds more like the Japanese.
