Mahupela offers miners 6% increment

The 2014/2015 wage negotiations between the mine and Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) have broken down as the Union has rejected the offer and demanded a 12 percent across the board increase.

In a brief to workers, Mahupela explained that the negotiations that commenced in April were set against a difficult background of low metal prices, below budget production, revenue losses recorded in the 2013 financial year, projected losses for the 2014 financial year as well as other operational challenges.
