Amplats saved itself alot of grief by firing the illegal strikers. Amplats will have to start retrenching soon, and now the fired workers wount be getting retrenchment packages. Those fired strikers, who will be rehired, lose all their pension, and saved benefits. They start from the beginning again. Suuuck it. Report Abuse

What? This isn't a unionised strike and the miners are burning NUM t-shirts but the union is busy negotiating on their behalf. Is it just me or is this completely beyond logic? Report Abuse

This makes no sense, are they going to open the wage negotiations only for rock drill operators? and are they going to negotiate for R12 500.00 or just to adjust the entry level in the mining sector. NUM erata bo clever, the members must not be fooled. Report Abuse
