Northam Platinum strike continues The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has resolved to continue with the strike at Northam Platinum after a mass meeting with the members today. NUM Chief Negotiator at Northam Platinum Ecliff Tantsi said the reason of holding a mass meeting today was to brief members about a CCMA facilitated meeting which was held last week Friday to try and resolve the wage dispute with Northam Platinum. Tantsi said no agreement was reached with the Northam Platinum management on Friday and unfortunately the strike continues It was resolved in the mass meeting today that the strike must continue. Workers further resolved that we must march to Northam Platinum head office on Tuesday next week in Johannesburg. Workers have also resolved to stick with their demands which are currently on the table. Northam Platinum management must be replaced as it is at sea in so far as negotiations are concerned, he said. The NUM is still open for further negotiations with the company and we would be on stand by 24 hours. The NUM members have resolved to continue with this peaceful and bloodless strike. The strike continues.
