Sibanye strike ends after Amcu accepts old offer five months later | IOL News

JOHANNESBURG - Almost five months later, the strike by members of of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union at Sibanye-Stillwater's South African gold operations has ended, the miner confirmed on Wednesday.

At least 15,000 Amcu members downed tools on November 21 at Sibanye's gold operations of Driefontein, Kloof, and Beatrix mines, demanding higher wages "after the mining company signed an Amcu-negotiated wage agreement with other three unions". Despite implementing plans and optimizing production to limit losses during the strike, Sibanye cut down its expected gold production for 2018, putting it to approximately 34,600kg, or 1.1 million ounces, which was marginally below previous guidance of between 35,000kg and 36,000kg, or 1.13 million ounces and 1.16 million ounces, for the year.

Sibanye said all employees will been notified to report for work as per a build-up schedule which will be communicated internally in due course.

The same Amcu got people killed in Marika. People just don't learn.

Went through christmas and now easter with no money. Became indebted to loan sharks charging high interest and for what. Got nothing bit their union leader still received a full salary and benefits every month
