NUM, Amcu call for proper regulation and safety measures for mineworkers

The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) has brought two court applications against the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), citing a lack of regulation to ensure the safe return to work of workers in the mining and energy sectors. AMCU says that while it is supportive of a return to work and ramping up production, it will not support this if the safety of its members is not guaranteed by national minimum standard.
