The trade union intends to pursue legal action against Gold One mine, saying it failed to take adequate measure to prevent or diffuse December’s hostage situation.
AMCU supporters are accused of trying to force the mine to reinstate 74 workers, axed in October for staging an illegal strike, by blockading the mine shaft, trapping almost 500 workers underground in a protracted labour dispute.
More than 400 gold miners who remained underground for four days, amid tensions between unions and the mine owners, returned to the surface on Monday, some telling AFP that workers had collapsed due to lack of food.
