The National Union of Mineworkers has strongly condemned the possible blackmail unleashed by mining companies led by Angloplatinum in announcing massive retrenchments.
Angloplatinum this
week announced that it will be retrenching 6 900 workers, which is
different to the 3 000 which was proposed during the consultation
process.
NUM Spokesperson
Lesiba Seshoka said the fact that companies including Sibanye Gold, Goldfields and
Harmony Gold are retrenching is an attempt to blackmail the unions, in terms of
the corrective bargaining.
Seshoka said they will
fight and challenge the matter to insure that collective bargaining remains and
that there are no retrenchments.
