 Article Headline: Union threatens to down tools at De Beers’ SA operations
 Abstract: South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), on Friday threatened to embark on industrial action across all local operations of diamond giant De Beers. This comes after the miner served workers with section 189 notices to inform them that 350 jobs at the Finsch mine, in the Northern Cape, would be shed. The union claimed that the company wanted to retrench workers without adhering to due processes. The NUM representative Tshimane Montoedi alleged that the diamond miner had refused to adhere to a training-layoff scheme agreed to earlier and a social labour plan in line with South Africa's Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act.
