Labour court rules AMCU cannot strike in gold sector

The labour court ruled on Monday (23/06/2014) that the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), which is leading a crippling platinum sector stoppage, could not strike in the gold sector, a chamber of mines official said.

AMCU had been seeking permission to strike in gold shafts after its members were forced to accept a deal signed last year by a rival union, which represents most of the miners in the gold industry. - Reuters
