“Sibanye-Stillwater is pleased to report that the five month strike by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union at its SA gold operations, has been resolved. Both parties have acknowledged that it is in their interest to rebase and develop a constructive relationship going forward,” Sibanye said in a statement.
They were demanding R1,000 yearly wage increments for the next three years, while the National Union of Mineworkers , Solidarity, and the United Association of South Africa accepted an increase of R750 per year for the next three years for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021. On its part, Sibanye has agreed to an ex gratia payment of R4,000 for all employees at its gold operations in the form of cash or a voucher, to alleviate hardship, and also made an offer of a cash advance of R5,000 upon request of the employees which will be repayable over a 12-month period.
Neal Froneman, Sibanye chief executive, said they were pleased that the extended strike has ended, without undermining other stakeholders or compromising their rights.
