INDUSTRIAL ACTION ends
DiamondCorp, the Southern African diamond development and exploration company, is pleased to announce that the industrial action by members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) employed at the Lace diamond mine in the Free State province of South Africa has ended.
The issue in dispute was management's refusal to employ two additional full-time salaried shop stewards. AMCU is the majority union at the Lace mine and already has five appointed shop stewards in the workforce.
AMCU members have voted to resume work at 06h00 on Monday, 8 December 2014, without the appointment of any additional full-time shop stewards.
In due course, the Company will provide an update on the impact of the industrial action on the Lace mine development and operational schedule going forwards.
