Citing increased prices in palladium and rhodium, and inflation, the union has upped its 2012 demand for R12,500 per worker
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union is demanding R17,000 a month per miner in the platinum sector, as wage talks with the biggest producers start.
Mathunjwa noted the strong increase in palladium and rhodium prices since 2017 at a media briefing ahead of the start of wage talks with Sibanye-Stillwater, Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum, SA’s three largest platinum group metal producers. Mathunjwa also noted the more than R3bn Sibanye raised during the gold strike, asking Froneman to use that to increase platinum miners’ salaries.
