Workers who went on strike last week at Harmony Gold’s Kusasalethu mine near Carletonville have returned to work, the mining group said on Thursday. It said that after six days of ongoing unprotected industrial action at the mine, management and leadership of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) had reached an agreement, and that all employees had reported to work on Thursday morning. "We are relieved that Kusasalethu is back to normal. Unprotected industrial action affects the mine’s viability, its employees and their families. It is prudent that the Kusasalethu team now continues to produce safe, profitable ounces in line with its plan," Harmony CEO Peter Steenkamp said.
