JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Monday it may call for a strike at Kumba Iron Ore's operations over failure to implement parts of a wage agreement.
The NUM said that Kumba had failed to assist its employees who live outside a 30 km radius of its mines with decent accommodation as laid out in the 2010-12 wage deal signed between Kumba and the union.
"We can only hope they come to the party otherwise we will be left with no option but to call on a strike," said Eddie Majadibodu, a NUM chief negotiator for Kumba.
Kumba, a unit of Anglo American, could not immediately comment. The company is the world's 10th largest iron ore producer and the biggest in Africa.
