JOHANNESBURG, July 7 (Reuters) - The largest union in South Africa's platinum industry said on Thursday it would begin wage talks with Anglo American Platinum, Impala and Lonmin (LSE: LMI.L - news) on July 12, where it would be demanding higher wages for its members.
The union said it wanted a 12,500 minimum wage for its lowest paid members, although it did not specify their current earnings, and a 15 percent hike for higher paid employees.
