Solidarity still seeking payment for former Aurora employees from liquidators

Trade union Solidarity on Thursday raked up old grievances when it directed a letter to the joint liquidators of Aurora Empowerment Systems expressing its dissatisfaction with the delays in payment to its members and other former Aurora gold mineworkers. General secretary Gideon du Plessis noted that those employees had already submitted their claims in the prescribed format but they were still waiting for compensation. "Our members are at their wit's end, are despondent and have been under tremendous financial pressure since March 2010," he said.
