Statement by Abigail Moyo, spokesperson of the trade union UASA:
UASA has successfully concluded and signed a Recognition Agreement with Awethu Scaffold in Rustenburg.
This significant milestone follows months of constructive engagement and negotiations between the parties. UASA Sector Manager Adriaan Schultz and Operational Manager Poena Siemens, with the support of the Vice Chairperson at Northern Platinum Mines, Issie Jordaan, worked with commitment and dedication to secure the signing of the agreement.

This achievement demonstrates the value of constructive labour relations and social dialogue between employers and organised labour.
UASA extends its appreciation to the representatives who contributed to this agreement and welcomes Awethu Scaffold to UASA, a union of choice – that has been ‘Protecting and Caring for members since 1894.’
