fOUR YEAR WAGE AGREEMENT SIGNED

 

DiamondCorp, the Southern African diamond development and exploration company, is pleased to announce that its 74%-owned subsidiary Lace Diamond Mines (Pty) Limited has signed a four year wage agreement with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and covering all employees at the Lace diamond mine in the Free State province of South Africa.

 

The agreement is based around 8% annual increases in basic salary for most categories, along with a progressive lift in the lowest categories to R12,500 per month basic salary over the four year period.

 

DiamondCorp CEO Mr Paul Loudon said: "This long wage agreement will provide industrial relations stability at the Lace mine during the critical mine start up years and demonstrates a solid maturing of relationships between the union and management. We are particularly pleased to have negotiated a four year agreement rather than the more common two or three year agreement".
