NUM now says an early dissolution of the agreement could put an end to lenghty legal processes and avert a labour crisis at the mine.
A story published in the City Press on Sunday details how exorbitant spending on luxury alcohol and food has left the South African Air Force catering budget with just R45,000 for the rest of the year.
Workers are calling for another union, AMCU, to be granted recognition at the mine. They have giving Gold One until the end of Friday to conduct the balloting process or face heightened industrial action.
Operations have been halted at the mine indefinitely, as tensions between labour unions AMCU and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) intensify.
AMCU is fighting for organisational rights at the Gold One Modder East operation where NUM is the only recognised union representing workers' interests since 2012 but the slow process has triggered frustrations among some workers who want the vote to be expedited.
