AMSA says contingency plans in place as Numsa strikes over ‘labour brokers’

Steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) says it has introduced contingency plans at its various plants to minimise the potential impact on production of a National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) strike. The union indicated on Tuesday that a strike had been declared, owing to AMSA’s ongoing use of labour brokers, which it identified as Real Tree Trading and Monyetla Services.
