Mine chamber concludes gold sector wage negotiations─── DANE BEISHEIM 17:50 Mon, 27 Jul 2015
Johannesburg - The Chamber of Mines announced today that no further negotiations will take place at this year’s gold sector wage negotiations.
The Chamber will present its final offer to trade unions on Thursday.
Solidarity's Gideon du Plessis says the union has urged the Chamber to present a fair wage offer and to raise the retirement age for all workers to 63.
Du Plessis adds however he does not foresee that the Chamber’s final offer will be accepted by organised labour and therefore believes that a strike is a strong possibility.
