The
National Union of Mineworkers at Glencore Koornfontein Mine in Mpumalanga have
embarked on a strike.
This
is after talks between the union and the company reached a deadlock at the
CCMA.
The
strike is over pay of service per year.
Num
Acting National Spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu said Glencore is deviating from
the same formula it is using at other operations like Tweefontein and TUGO.
Mammburu
said this company is very arrogant because even when we were dealing with picketing
rules we could not reach an agreement because they wanted to impose their own
picketing rules.
Mammburu
said the CCMA ended up imposing at least reasonable picketing rules to parties.
"We
are being undermined and we will make sure they feel the pinch. We are also
intending to apply for a secondary strike from other Glencore operations, Mammburu
added.
