Exxaro, NUM to resume wage negotiations on Friday

Diversified miner Exxaro has received a revised set of demands from the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the parties will resume wage negotiations on Friday. “We've noted the decision by NUM to issue a strike notice. The strike action affects Grootegeluk coal mine, in Lephalale, as well as Leeuwpan coal mine, in Delmas. We continue discussions with NUM in order to resolve and reach agreement sooner to minimise the impact on employees," Exxaro executive head of stakeholder affairs Mzila Mthenjane said in a statement issued on Thursday.
