Sibanye-Stillwater now intends to approach the Labour Court to declare the current Amcu strike unprotected.
Sibanye-Stillwater said on Monday it had completed an independent exercise into union membership verification at its South African gold operations which had been disputed by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union .
This was after Sibanye extended the wage agreement it had signed with three other unions to all employees, including Amcu members, arguing that the three unions then constituted the majority of workers after some workers left Amcu and joined them. The outcome of the verification exercise supported management’s position that as of February 18, unions NUM, UASA and Solidarity collectively represented the majority of employees at the company’s South African gold operations, said Sibanye.Neal Froneman, Sibanye chief executive, said the independent verification exercise would form the basis to implement an extension of the wage agreement.
“Amcu has again challenged the outcome of the verification exercise and we again urge Amcu leadership to allow due processes to be followed in the interest of a peaceful resolution to this strike.”
