Johannesbug - The National Union of Mineworkers (Num) said on Friday Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] (Amplats), the world’s largest platinum producer, again raised its offer in wage talks and its members will begin voting on it on Monday.
Num spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said the new offer will not be made public for now. The union will meet Amplats again on August 31.
The company on Thursday offered to raise wages by between 7.5% and 8%, depending on worker category, from a previous offer of 6% to 7%, but it was rejected.
Num lowered its demand to between 11% and 12.5% from 15%, which is triple the inflation rate.
