WAGE negotiations between the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and Sibanye-Stillwater were in deadlock on Thursday, said African Network Agency in a report republished by Business Report.
“No agreement has been reached and wage talks continue,” AMCU said in a statement which is also in wage negotiations with Harmony Gold, and Village Main Reef under the auspices of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
On Monday, AMCU, UASA and Solidarity signed a three-year wage agreement with AngloGold Ashanti signed an agreement which gave workers an increment of R1,000 a year over three years. Amcu also achieved a 6.5% increase for miners, artisans and officials – 0.5% more than the mandated six percent.
The National Union of Mineworkers is no longer part of conciliation processes as it declared a dispute with the gold producers.
