Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu)

For what it is worth….

In a recent publication by Anglo American the CEO of Anglo American, Mark Cutifani, an Australian National [a guy who is getting paid £1,200,000 per annum] recons it is time to sell the Rustenburg Operations…. because AMCU has put their foot down and said "enough is enough"

For many years the large Mining Companies has been making billions and have been paying their employees just enough to survive

Sorry Mr. Cutifani, you need to reconsider the Unions demand otherwise Rustenburg will again become the ghost-town of the 1970's

A intro wage of R12500 might sound like a huge amount, but it is in actual fact not, if you take into consideration the cost of living, but I suppose if you earn a salary of £1,200,000 per annum the cost of living doesn’t worry you at all
