The union has led workers on a two-week strike over job cuts at Amplats, a stoppage that ended October 10 after a compromise agreed with the company, 80 percent-owned by London-based Anglo American Plc. Mpumi Sithole, an Amplats spokeswoman, wasn't immediately able to comment on the NUMSA vote when contacted by phone. Two other trade unions, UASA and the National Union of Mineworkers, are also in wage talks with Amplats. The AMCU has referred its deadlock with Amplats to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration, union President Joseph Mathunjwa said today by phone. Stalled wage talks with Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd., the second-largest producer of the metal, have also been referred to the CCMA, Mathunjwa said. Implats expected the CCMA to set a date for arbitration this week, spokesman Johan Theron said by e-mail.
