Amcu 'hopeful' Sibanye strike will come to end with CCMA proposal
DURBAN - The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union said on Tuesday that it had been mandated by its members to accept a proposed settlement agreement to break a wage negotiation deadlock at Sibanye-Stillwater.
Amcu said the CCMA had proposed a payment of R5 700, coupled with other issues as contained in the previous settlement agreement. These included a salary advance of R5 000, debt consolidation, non-deductions of employer contributions to benefits, death benefits for employees who died during the strike, as well as disciplinary issues.
The union was "hopeful" its acceptance of the proposal would signal a speedy resolution to the wage dispute, it said.
