Harmony operations normalised
Johannesburg: Monday, 9 September 2013: Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(‘Harmony’) is pleased to advise that operations at all of its mines were normalised, with
effect from the night shift on 8 September 2013.
Operations were disrupted by strike action by members of the National Union of
Mineworkers (NUM) at all operations, except Kusasalethu, from the night shift on
3 September 2013.
Graham Briggs, chief executive officer of Harmony noted that, “The strike action will
have an impact on Harmony’s performance for the quarter, and on employees’
earnings, and is most regrettable. Nonetheless, we are pleased to have reached a
resolution.”
“I would also like to make special mention of the conduct of the people of Harmony
during this period. Employers and employees are not always going to agree and,
indeed, different unions are not always going to be on the same course. But, where
industrial action occurs, this needs to be conducted to the letter of the law and in the
spirit of constructive industrial relations envisaged in our Constitution and labour
legislation. We have seen this at Harmony this week, and I congratulate employees,
unions and management in upholding the fundamental rights of all”.
