JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The Chamber of Mines (CoM), acting on behalf of gold producers AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony and Sibanye Gold, on Thursday welcomed the decision by the Labour Appeal Court to dismiss the appeal by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) against the 2014 decision of the Labour Court in favour of the CoM. During the 2013 wage negotiations, AMCU sought clarity from the Labour Court on its right to strike at individual mines where it was the majority union. The Labour Court ruled, however, that a union required a majority at company level, not just at individual mine level.
