Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] YCLSA calls on workers to fight retrenchment at 
AMPLATS

*YCLSA Press Statement*

January 16, 2013

*YCLSA calls on workers to fight retrenchment at AMPLATS*

The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] is disappointed by
the move by AMPLATS to close down some of its operations in the Rustenburg
area. The move will result in job losses for 14 000 workers.

This decision by AMPLATS comes at a time when our country is facing a
persistent unemployment rate at crisis levels and mass poverty. The closing
of shafts goes against the government's efforts and agenda of ensuring that
job creation is prioritised in all sectors of the economy.

We agree with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) that the job
destructions planned by AMPLATS constitute a collateral punishment for the
strikes that the company experienced in 2012. We join the NUM in calling
upon the workers unite and fight retrenchment. To us as the YCLSA, AMPLATS
has systematically divided workers and in this collaborated with a
pseudo-union called AMCU as a prelude to its planned retrenchment.

Mining bosses must reconsider this decision because it will impact badly on
the 14 000 workers, their families and communities. We call on mining
bosses to work closely with the NUM and government to resolve this impasse.

Issued by YCLSA Head Office
