The Congress of South African Trade Union
in the North West said the Helam
mine share holders need to start improving the poor conditions that workers are
working under, instead of talking about retrenchment.
Cosatu Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe
said if the mine cannot go on with production government must then take over
the mine and create more jobs, not reducing the number of workers as a way of
running away from their responsibilities.
Phetoe said in any sector retrenchments are
never a solution as they leave more damage the company should look at other
ways and find a way forward.
He added that as Cosatu they will continue
to fight this and ensure that no one gets retrenched.
