Union claims that Lanxess unilaterally changed the rules of an employee share ownership scheme

The National Union of Metalworkers of SA wants mineral resources minister Gwede Mantashe to conduct a forensic audit of Lanxess’s chrome mine near Rustenburg and possibly revoke its licence, following allegations of rampant corruption at the mine.

The controversial ownership scheme was established in 2007 and it was envisaged that after it matured in 10 years, workers would receive their pro rata share in line with their years of services at the mine. Those who opposed and spoke out against the alleged flagrant disregard of the scheme’s rules were targeted and accused of various charges, dragged through what he called a sham disciplinary process and fired, Jim said.

Jim said another worker, Wiseman Tabane, was dismissed on allegations that on the day the company secured a strike interdict he had not timeously read the interdict to workers to abandon the strike action.
