Implats’ Miners Demand Second Wage Increase

Reuters reported Impala Platinum’s (JSE:IMP) miners have demanded another wage increase as strikes spread at platinum mines across South Africa.

As quoted in the market news:

Impala Platinum, the world’s No.2 platinum producer, said on Tuesday workers had demanded a second pay hike this year, equal to a pay increase granted in April after a 6-week strike.

The demand comes as South African mining companies grapple with a wave of strikes that last month led to the death of 44 people, 34 at the hands of the police.
