Wage talks at Impala Platinum are ongoing, while talks at Sibanye-Stillwater's platinum business will commence next week. Relations between Sibanye and unions are tense as a strike at the company's gold mines has been ongoing since 10 March with no sign yet of any settlement. AMCU and NUM are demanding an increase of R1 000 in every year of a three-year wage deal – an agreement labour has secured at Harmony and other gold mines.
