Employees of Sibanye-Stillwater are still embroiled in an ongoing wage negotiation strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sibanye-Stillwater says it has tried in vain to reach and agreement that is fair, benefit employees and considers the sustainability of its South African gold operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDespite its good intentions the wage negotiations between Sibanye-Stillwater and The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) remains deadlocked.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, 7 March, AMCU and NUM served the company with 48 hours\u2019 notice of a strike at the South African gold operations which began on Wednesday, 9 March, at 18:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is regrettable that unions have decided to resort to strike action which will severely impact all stakeholders. Employees, their families and communities stand to lose much. These losses will never be recovered,\u201d said Memory Johnstone, spokesperson for the company on Monday (28\/03).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThat said, Sibanye-Stillwater respects the rights of employees to engage in industrial action and picketing if they choose to do so. But, this must be done according to the picketing rules established by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA),\u201d says Johnstone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Every day of the strike, Category 4 employees lose R552 on their salaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On average, so far Category 4 employees until 29 March, have lost R11 592. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Category 8 employees have logged average losses per day per employee of R684. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To date (21 March) this amounts to R14 364. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
