Sibanye unions to intensify strike
As the strike at Sibanye-Stillwater's gold mine enters its second month, unions plan to intensify the action through protest marches, a secondary strike at platinum mines, and are calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene.
The action plan comes 35 days since the strike began at the gold operations as unions and Sibanye failed to reach a wage agreement.
Against a wage demand of a R1 000 increase in each year of a three-year wage agreement, Sibanye has offered R700.
After meeting on Monday, the striking unions, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), announced they will embark on additional protest marches to garner public support and increase pressure on the company.
"The planned protest action includes protest marches to the JSE, the Union Buildings, as well as the head offices of prominent media houses, including the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) for its business-biased reporting and lack of coverage of the strike and the campaign for a better life," the unions said in a joint statement on Tuesday. -Fin24
