Trade union Solidarity is concerned about the fate of almost 3 000 Sibanye-Stillwater mineworkers whose jobs may be in jeopardy in the future, as the mining company considers the future of its Kloof 4 shaft, in Carletonville, South Africa. Sibanye last week announced that it would hold discussions with stakeholders to decide on the future of the gold mining operation, given the financial and operational challenges it is facing.
Trade union Solidarity is concerned about the fate of almost 3 000 Sibanye-Stillwater mineworkers whose jobs may be in jeopardy in the future, as the mining company considers the future of its Kloof 4 shaft, in Carletonville, South Africa.
Nearly 2 400 Sibanye employees and 581 contract workers stand to lose their jobs should the operation be shut.says Sibanye’s excellent half-yearly results contradict the necessity for large-scale layoffs. “In its recent half-yearly results, however, Sibanye boasted about the turnaround in its gold production, which showed a 117% improvement over the first half of the [prior] year. It was said that production in this division met expectations and even yielded good profits,” Visser adds.
Solidarity says it will actively participate in the consultation process with the aim of preventing layoffs, or at least limiting layoffs.
