Johannesburg - The National Union of Mineworkers said on Tuesday that a strike at Impala Platinum Holdings [JSE:IMP] planned for Monday will be delayed to allow further negotiations between management and the union.
NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka said Impala Platinum (Implats), the world's second largest producer of the metal, had asked for further talks to try and end a deadlock over wages.
"The strike will be delayed and a new conciliator will be appointed to meet us and the management," Seshoka told Reuters.
The NUM is demanding a 10% pay rise across the board, while Impala is offering a wage rise of 8% for workers in the lower pay bracket and 7.5% for those in the higher pay category.
