Sejamothopo Motau, DA Spokesperson on Labour
Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant yesterday in Parliament reiterated her government’s refusal to engage with AMCU, the increasingly prominent union in platinum mining. Oliphant would have us believe that the reason for this is that AMCU is not an officially recognised union. In reality, this means that the ANC continues to avoid engaging with unions not affiliated with its alliance partner COSATU.
