JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – About 1 000 miners represented by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) were planning to hold a march at diversified resources group Exxaro's Arnot coal mine, 43 km outside Middelburg, on Wednesday afternoon.

The members would present the company’s management with a memorandum of demands.

NUM Arnot branch secretary Mxolisi Hoboyi told Mining Weekly Online that Exarro had been issued a notice regarding the action. He said the workers’ demands included the equalisation of bonuses as per the Chamber of Mines agreement of 1996 and that Exxaro address the issue of long-service awards as per an agreement signed in 2004.

“We also demand that the company resolve the issues relating to basic salary, as opposed to hourly rates. While we appreciate that the matter is currently before a commissioner, we call on the company to resolve all these as a matter of urgency,” Hoboyi said in a statement.
