ANA reports that the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has announced that a strike at Msobo Coal mine in Mpumalanga that started on Tuesday has come to end after the company withdrew its letter of resignation from the Chamber of Mines.
The union embarked on a protected strike at the coal producer after the company withdrew from the centralised bargaining forum at the Chamber of Mines by terminating its membership of the industry organisation. The purpose of the strike was to compel Msobo to align itself with the process of wage negotiations currently ongoing at the Chamber. NUM chief negotiator in the coal sector, Peter Bailey, said the company’s withdrawal of its letter of resignation from the Chamber was a victory for workers. “Workers have achieved what they wanted. I can confirm Msobo Coal has withdrawn its letter of resignation from the Chamber of Mines. Workers will report to work tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6am,” Bailey said.
