JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The Labour Court-facilitated mediation of ongoing conflict between platinum producers Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum and Lonmin and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union continued on Friday with the parties encouraged by the “common commitment to endeavour to resolve this dispute”, Lonmin said in a statement.

The platinum miner said on Friday that the process, which started on Wednesday, was unfolding and that AMCU and the platinum producers welcomed the initiative of the Labour Court to mediate a resolution of the protracted wage strike in the sector.

“The parties have fully embraced this process with talks led by Judge Hilary Rabkin-Naicker,” Lonmin said.

AMCU had started its strike for an entry-level basic wage of R12 500 over a four-year period on January 23. The platinum producers’ latest offer would see workers earn a minimum cash remuneration – comprising basic wages and holiday, living-out and other allowances – of R12 500 a month by 2017.
