KUSASALETHU EMPLOYEES EMBARK ON AN ILLEGAL STRIKE
Johannesburg, Monday, 13 November 2017.
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony” and/or
“the Company”) regrets to advise that employees at its
Kusasalethu mine have embarked on an illegal strike. Harmony will
approach the Labour Court today for an urgent interdict against the
strike.
Employees at the
mine did not report to work on Sunday evening following an
ultimatum issued to employees to return to work which was in
reaction to an illegal stay away on Friday. The illegal strike by
employees is in response to the dismissal of the Association of
Mineworkers and Construction Union’s (AMCU) branch
leadership, following a number of reported incidents of illegal
industrial action towards the beginning of calendar year
2017.
The dismissal of
the branch leadership follows an extensive legal disciplinary
process followed by management.
Management
continues to engage with the leadership of AMCU to address the
current illegal industrial action.
“We appeal
to employees to return to work and strongly condemn any act of
violence or intimidation. It is important that discipline at the
mine be restored to ensure the sustainability of the mine,”
Peter Steenkamp, CEO of Harmony said.
Ends.
