OREANDA-NEWS. September 27, 2012. Anglo American Platinum confirms the employee attendance rate at its Rustenburg mines remains below 20%, notwithstanding the company’s repeated calls for striking employees to return to work. As indicated yesterday, disciplinary action against those employees participating in illegal strike action has commenced.

Chris Griffith, CEO of Anglo American Platinum, said: “Despite repeatedly urging our employees to come back to work, attendance at our Rustenburg operations remains low. We have been left with no choice but to initiate disciplinary action, which could lead to dismissals.”
