JOHANNESBURG Oct 3 (Reuters) – South Africa’s Chamber of
Mines agreed to re-open wage talks in the coal and gold mining
sectors, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on
Wednesday, in a clear response to escalating wildcat strikes
sweeping through the industry.
“The Chamber agreed to engage the NUM in accordance with the
stipulations of the existing wage agreement which amongst others
indicates that parties will investigate and probe working and
other conditions of service,” the union said in a statement.
