The Mineworkers Union of Namibia (MUN) yesterday announced its intention to embark on a strike at the Rosh Pinah zinc mine after a majority of workers in the bargaining unit voted in favour of industrial action.
MUN regional organiser Elvis Bekele told Namibian Sun that a strike ballot was held on Tuesday after the union and the mine management failed to reach agreement on wage negotiations on February 11.
At a meeting between the two parties last week, the union’s members rejected the mine’s offer to increase salaries by 5%.
