S.Africa's AMCU union to take revised platinum offer to members

Thu, 30 Jan - 12:23am

PRETORIA, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The world's top platinum producers have made a revised wage offer to South Africa's AMCU union but it falls short of its demand for a minimum "living wage" of 12,500 rand ($1,100) a month, the union's chief negotiator said on Wednesday.

Jimmy Gama said the union would put the offer to its members on Thursday after the conclusion of government-brokered talks with strike-hit Anglo American Platinum AMSJ.J , Impala Platinum IMPJ.J and Lonmin .

($1 = 11.0522 South African rand)
