Amcu sends food parcels to striking members
Sasol Mine employees have not yet returned to work.
HIGHVELD – The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) sent a thousand food parcels to its protesting Sasol Mine members to offer relief pending the end of their three month strike.
Amcu members have not returned to work since the beginning of the strike in August.
The food parcels are a relief initiative by Amcu to take care of their members during negotiations about living wages with Sasol management.
Many Amcu members said it has been a difficult time without an income to buy basic needs.
Mr Patrick Ndlovu, regional organiser, said the picketing was the result of unresolved issues that had been drafted in the maiden memorandum which has not been responded to yet.
He further added that the national office is working with Sasol management to resolve the issue and get the employees back to work as soon as possible.
