Expressing appreciation, Rössing Uranium’s Employee Relations Advisor, Lana Maletzky, commended the MUN Branch Executive team for their “mature and constructive” approach throughout the negotiations.

“This agreement secures increments for employees for the next three years which indeed is a milestone, with both parties sharing a common understanding of the challenges facing the business. The parties also agreed to the renewing of procedural and related agreements within the next three months,” she said.
