National Union of Mineworkers, 20 August 2013 NUM condemns mining sector retrenchment blackmail The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) condemns in the strongest words possible the blackmail unleashed by mining companies led by Angloplatinum in announcing massive retrenchments. Angloplatinum which appears to be leading the pack in terms of the blackmail announcing retrenchments of 6900 workers contrary to the 3000 proposed during the consultation process. The NUM made proposals that the three thousand jobs Angloplatinum wanted to do away with should be addressed through Voluntary Severance Packages (VSP), natural attrition and transfers to other operations. The NUM is shocked by Angloplatinum's announcement of its intention to retrench 6900. Other companies who are using blackmail to weaken current wage negotiations includes Sibanye Gold, Anglogold Ashanti, Blyvoor liquidations, Buffelsfontein closure, Goldfields and Harmony Gold. The NUM strongly condemns these irresponsible companies. "The jobs bloodbath is a clear attack on the working class and the poor, a direct attack on mineworkers generally. Our union will respond accordingly" says Frans Baleni, the NUM General Secretary.
