Seems the platinum strike is finally over.. I see Amcu is calling this a historic victory for the workers.. Haven't really heard what the terms and conditions are but this seems rather bad: However, the employers did not agree to all Amcu's demands. Mathunjwa said the fact that the mining houses did not agree to a moratorium on retrenchments was "a challenge", but called on the media to focus on the fact that the strike was coming to an end and on "the victory for the workers." The workers seemingly also did not get the R3 000 bonus demanded last week to return to work. http://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-mining/platinum-workers-to-return-to-work-on-wednesday--m Wonder if it will still be an historic victory if the employees realise they are being retrenched and there will be no money regardless of this agreement..
