The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has decided to join the October 7 national strike launched by Congress of South African Trade Union (Cosatu).

The NUM has, therefore, issued a call to its members in the mining, energy, construction and metals sectors to join planned activities across the country – in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines – or withdraw their labour by staying at home on the day, as part of the Global Day for Decent Work.

The legally protected strike is focused on pushing both government and the private sector to act in fixing the "economic mess" that South Africa finds itself in and take more seriously the issues that are affecting workers and society in general.
