NUM strike at Harmony peaceful
Johannesburg: Wednesday, 4 September 2013: Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (‘Harmony’) advises that, following the receipt of a notice of commencement of a strike from the National Union of Mineworkers (‘NUM’) on 30 August 2013, members of the NUM embarked on a strike with effect from the night shift on 3 September 2013.
The majority of Harmony’s operations have been severely affected, although all essential services personnel are at work. The NUM represents approximately 70% of Harmony’s total workforce.
Kusasalethu near Carletonville is operating at normal levels.
“We continue to engage with all the unions to reach a wage settlement and to curtail the strike. We are encouraged by the responsible and peaceful conduct of employees engaged in the strike, and urge all parties to uphold the law and all agreements.” Graham Briggs, chief executive officer, said.
