S. Africa’s NUM backs down from strike threat after Glencore meeting

摘要

South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) backed down from its strike threat after a successful meeting with Glencore officials on Tuesday over housing and wage issues. The NUM had threatened a full-scale strike at Glencore’s operations in South Africa if its demands were not met. The union says it represents 3,000 of the 4,500 South African workers employed by Glencore.
