Solidarity confirms two more retrenchment notices, putting more than a thousand jobs at risk. Glencore Operations South Africa has just issued two section 189 notices – one at the Rhovan mine and another at the company's head office. According to Riaan Visser, Deputy General Secretary for the Mining, Agriculture and Chemicals Sector at Solidarity, we are seeing a repeat of the same pattern that began with retrenchments at ArcelorMittal and continued with the closure of Assmang's Beeshoek mine – only this time with mass retrenchments at Glencore.
