South Africa: Industrial action looms in platinum sector resulting from wage dispute between union and Lonmin

(Reuters) - South Africa's Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) declared a wage dispute on Thursday with platinum producer Lonmin, raising the prospect of sector-wide industrial action in the local platinum industry.

AMCU spokesman Jimmy Gama told reporters the union would remain in talks with the world's third largest platinum producer, but if no progress was made a government mediator would try to resolve the deadlock.
