after signing a three-year wage deal which sees salaries increase by R650 for the first year, R700 for the second and R825 for the third year.
Amcu president, Joseph Mathunjwa, says that the end of the strike shows that their members cannot be continuously bullied by white monopoly capital. “The fight that we are fighting is not just a wage increase; we are fighting an apartheid legacy of which was created mainly for black workers, in particular in the mining sector through the years, of which our government is not prepared to entertain it in as much as we contribute. I mean if one can say, 5% of the GDP, but in terms of beneficiation, surely we are above 60%. And this is has been continuing from 1994 to date.
Wage agreement my foot,this is the agreement they should have signed in the first place.but I can't blame mathunjwa,the mandate comes from the workers.
Why did Amcu be so hard headed only to comeback and sign same deal others agreed to months earlier, is this a caring union?
