Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Solidarity has welcomed the dismissal of at least 92 strikers at the Gold One mine in Springs whose \u201chorrific\u201d behaviour towards co-workers was exposed by the media last month.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The union said some of the perpetrators were turned away when operations resumed at the mine earlier this week. Solidarity said victims of the December sit-in noticed that some of the dismissed workers were underground again when the first shifts resumed for January.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, these perpetrators were arrested when they came above ground and shifts resumed, though not under police protection,\u201d the union said.<\/p>\n

Solidarity said it will demand answers from Gold One\u2019s management about what its plans are to prevent a possible third sit-in at the mine or any similar violent action.<\/p>\n

It advised its members not to enter the workplace until their safety is guaranteed, or if they feel their lives are threatened in any way.<\/p>\n

During the five days underground in December, several workers who were not involved in the strikers\u2019 demands were seriously assaulted and threatened with being killed.<\/p>\n

Paul Mardon, deputy general secretary of strategy and sustainability at Solidarity, said it was gratifying action had been taken against the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

He said further investigation by the police will hopefully also lead to further criminal action being taken against the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraumatised workers were expected to return to work this week. What is the action plan that should provide protection for these workers, including our own members?<\/p>\n

\u201cGold One has not yet answered why they could not foresee or avoid the second strike. How can we trust that a third one is not also imminent?\u201d Mardon said.<\/p>\n

The first strike occurred in October when hundreds of employees refused to return to the surface for nearly three days, staging a sit-in in protest against the company\u2019s failure to recognise the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu). Amcu is seeking organisational rights at the mine.<\/p>\n
