Mining Weekly reports that the 66 rock drill operators (RDOs) who were staging an underground sit-in at Gold One’s Modder East operations, in Springs, have resurfaced, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Friday.
The RDOs, who were demanding a R250 bonus per blast, spent five days underground without eating and only drinking water. The NUM added that the RDOs had requested that management not take disciplinary action against them.
