MARIKANA, South Africa Aug 14 (Reuters) – World No. 3
platinum producer Lonmin said on Tuesday an upstart
union, AMCU, blamed for recent deadly violence at one of its
South African mines, now had 21 percent of the company’s 28,000
employees as its members.
A turf war between the Association of Mineworkers and
Construction Union (AMCU) and the dominant National Union of
Mineworkers caused clashes that killed nine people, including
two policemen, on Sunday and Monday at Lonmin’s Marikana mine.
