South Africa's Amplats says strike costs 44,000 ounces of production
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Anglo American Platinum said on Thursday it had reached an agreement with a South African union to end a nearly two-week strike that cost it 44,000 ounces in lost production.
Amplats, as the unit of global miner Anglo American is called, said in a statement it would grant voluntary separation packages to 3,300 employees it had previously sought to lay off.
