MRC employees return to work at Kroondal and Marikana operations
Aquarius Platinum Limited confirms that Murray & Roberts Cementation (MRC)
and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) reached agreement on the
implementation of the rehiring process at Aquarius Platinum`s Kroondal and
Marikana mines, and that the re-engagement of employees began on Monday, 23
July. This follows the dismissal of 3,250 MRC employees on 18 July 2007,
after employees had engaged in an unprotected stay away from 16 to 18 July
2007, and a similar stay away for five days in May 2007.
The situation on-mine had normalised by the night shift on 23 July.
Aquarius Platinum estimates that this industrial action has resulted in a
loss to the company of approximately 4,700 ounces of attributable PGM
production.
