HUNDREDS of workers at Shanduka's operations yesterday went on a labour-related work stoppage, the National Union of Mineworkers said.

The union said operations at Shanduka's Springlake, Leeufontein, Graspan Colliery and Townlands had been affected by the work stoppage.

Workers are demanding that Shanduka centralise its bargaining to harmonise conditions of service across its operations.
