MEDIA RELEASE
SOUTH DEEP STRIKE SETTLED
Johannesburg, 9 September 2013: Gold Fields Limited (Gold
Fields)
(JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) is pleased to announce
that striking workers of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM)
returned to work at its South Deep mine on Friday after receiving a
two-year salary offer from the Chamber of Mines.
The settlement will also be extended to
UASA, the only other trade
union present at South Deep. In terms of the agreement:
·
Category 4 and 5 employees, and rock drill operators will
receive increases of 8% and other employees 7.5%, effective
1 July 2013.
· In the second year of the two-year deal employees will
receive further CPI-linked increases effective 1 July 2014.
· The current monthly living out allowance of R1,640 will
increase to R2,000 in two R180 steps, on 1 September 2013
and 2014.
The net effect of the increases will be to raise guaranteed basic pay
among South Deep employees in the above categories by an
average 7.8%. “We are pleased that the strike was resolved speedily
and that it was conducted peacefully. We believe a two-year
agreement will promote certainty and stability,” said Kgabo Moabelo,
Gold Fields’ Managing Executive, South Africa.
