[miningmx.com] – THE National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said it would submit its wage demands to the gold and coal sector companies before the end of April after delaying its submissions.
“The NUM has delayed submitting its wage demands to the Chamber of Mines because of internal consultations with its members,” it said. “We expect the opening wage negotiations round to start towards the last week of May,” it added.
The NUM also said it would engage with members working for contractors at Eskom’s Medupi power station project who were reportedly locked out by the power utility today.
Another union, the National Union of Metalworkers said in an article by BDLive that Eskom had abrogated its responsibilities by ignoring a dispute between employees and contractors it had brought to the project.
