S.Africa's AMCU refers platinum wage dispute to commission
South Africa's AMCU union said on Tuesday it has referred ongoing platinum wage negotiations with Anglo American Platinum and Sibanye-Stillwater to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration. AMCU President Joseph Mathunjwa said at a briefing on Tuesday that the union, the majority union in the platinum sector, would not accept less than a 1,000 rand ($65.68) increase to monthly wages. Mathunjwa also criticised Sibanye-Stillwater's decision to cut more than 5,000 jobs last month, saying the AMCU would campaign for South Africa's Labour Relations Act to be amended to make it more difficult for companies to retrench workers.

Operational inefficiencies at Rustenburg have for years undermined Impala's profits. "Revenue is up," one of the sources said, adding that mines that were going to close were now making money or will soon be making money.
