Ridge Times reports that the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) has sent a thousand food parcels to its protesting members at Sasol Mining to offer relief.
Amcu members have not returned to work since the beginning of the strike in August. The food parcels are a relief initiative by Amcu to take care of their members during negotiations about living wages with Sasol management. Many Amcu members said it has been a difficult time without an income to buy basic needs. Patrick Ndlovu, regional organiser, said the picketing was the result of unresolved issues that had not yet been responded to. He added that the national office was working with Sasol management to resolve the issues and get the employees back to work as soon as possible.
