‘It is, indeed, a sad reality that there has been a track record of violence and intimidation where industrial action has taken place’Marikana: A watershed moment for the NUM and Amcu. Picture: THE TIMES
The four-month strike has been marked by the death of nine people and the burning of more than 60 houses in the Carletonville area in strike-related violence and intimidation. On Friday morning, Prinsloo found that while the gold strike at Sibanye was protected, and that Amcu had given the other companies sufficient warning, all of which ticked the boxes in the Labour Relations Act laying out the conditions for a secondary strike, the union failed to meet the third provision.
“It is, indeed, a sad reality that there has been a track record of violence and intimidation where industrial action has taken place, and Amcu is in no position to dispute the allegations made by the applicants in respect of their own past experiences, and in respect of the horrendous violence displayed during the ongoing Sibanye strike,” she said.
Using AngloGold Ashanti as an example, Prinsloo noted that the company had said in court it would lose R20.4m a day in such a strike at its last remaining underground mine in SA where Amcu has a 67% representation of workers, effectively bringing the marginal mine to a standstill.
