Johannesburg - Anglo American Platinum [JSE:AMS], the world's top producer of the precious metal, said on Friday the hardline Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) had increased its membership in its shafts to 60% from 40% in July.
Company spokesperson Mpumi Sithole also told Reuters that a wage deal agreed this week with Amcu's rival the National Union of Mineworkers applied only to NUM, two other unions and non-unionised miners.
The pay hikes range from 7.5 to 8.5%, far short of the more than doubling of entry-level wages Amcu is demanding.
