Members of the main labor union at the world’s largest platinum producers may return to work in two days should they accept a proposal to end a five-month pay strike in South Africa.
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, which represents the more than 70,000 strikers, will present pay proposals made by Anglo American Platinum Ltd., Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. and Lonmin Plc to workers today. Members will gather at the Royal Bafokeng stadium in Rustenburg northwest of Johannesburg, said Evans Ramokga, an official of the union at Amplats, as the biggest producer is known.
