Gold Fields, which issued a final get-to-work-or-be-dismissed ultimatum last week,has reported that all workers had returned to its Beatrix operations by Friday and 90% at KDC West had clocked in by Thursday afternoon.
Many of the estimated 1 500 dismissed workers who failed to heed the return to work ultimatum had reported for duty on Friday. While the workers were now required to undertake the appeals process, Jacobsz said this was a positive development.
By Friday, only Gold Fields’ KDC East operations were still hit by the strike .
