Sibanye-Stillwater Ltd. (SBGL) has suspended all night shifts at
its South Africa gold operations after an employee was killed and
others were seriously injured during the course of strike
action.
On Monday the South African gold-and-platinum-mining company,
which formed when Sibanye Gold Ltd. (SGL.JO) bought U.S. company
Stillwater Mining Co., said it had received notice that the
Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union would begin a
strike from the evening shift of Nov. 21.
The strike is part of a continuing pay dispute. The company
announced last week that it had successfully reached a pay deal
with three other South African unions regarding pay and
conditions.
Sibanye said it condemns the use of violence and that acts of
intimidation will be investigated.
While night shifts have been suspended, the company said day
shifts will continue.
