JOHANNESBURG, March 14 (Reuters) – South Africa’s
National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Wednesday it had
served a strike notice to Modikwa Platinum, a joint venture
between African Rainbow Minerals and Anglo American
Platinum, over a wage dispute.
NUM said in a statement it was demanding a 12 percent
increase while the company was offering hikes of 8.5 to 9.5
percent, depending on the worker category.
Modikwa produced 130,000 ounces of refined platinum in 2010.
