[miningmx.com] – THE one week strike at Northam Platinum’s Zondereinde mine was called to a halt after management and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) agreed to find a solution to the disputes between them.
About 5,000 members of NUM went on strike on January 13 in a dispute relating to
recruitment, disciplinary and leave processes and agreements. Northam suspended production at the mine citing tension and to protect mineworkers and property.
Northam said that the sides had agreed to “… an acceptable process to deal with the issues in dispute raised during the strike”. The workforce would return with the night shift on January 20, the company said.
