Harmony wildcat strikers list demands
Strikers' demands include a special bonus, the removal of the general manager and assurances on disciplinary action
A number of mine workers have been kept from surfacing since Wednesday’s morning shift at Harmony Gold’s Kusasalethu as 1,700 employees were reported by the company as staging an unprotected sit-in. Leaders from the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), which represents 70% of the mine’s 4,700 employees, have met with management and gone 2.4km underground to talk to workers. “Formal demands have been received, which include payment of a special bonus, the removal of the general manager and an assurance that disciplinary action would not be pursued,” the company said. “Management has continued to appeal to employees to return to surface in the interests of safety and health, and to engage on the issues of concern through established processes.”
