The United Democratic Movement welcomes Anglo American Platinum’s decision to delay the retrenchment of approximately 14 000 workers until the relevant stakeholders have sat around the table and discussed the issue at hand.

The UDM said that this step will go a long way towards finding a solution for the parties involved.

UDM Deputy Secretary General Nqabayomzi Kwankwa said that as the UDM they feel this is an important step and it will go a long way towards finding a win, win solution for all the parties concerned.

Kwankwa adds that this consultation process should help the South African Economy, the detrimental effects of large scale employee retrenchments, and as a country it is already known for a suffering with a chronic unemployment rate.
