Lumwana Mine has awarded
its workers an 18 per cent salary increment, the highest pay rise so far this
year in the mining sector.
This follows the conclusion
of the 2012 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Mineworkers Union of Zambia
and the National Union of Miners and Allied Workers.
Other benefits for the
workers agreed during the negotiations are enhancements in
education, pension, leave
passages, shift differentials, housing and meal allowances.
Lumwana mine, located in the
north-west of Zambia is owned by Canadian-based Barrick Gold, after it acquired
Equinox Minerals, the previous owners of the mine after a 3.7 billion Canadian dollars
transaction in July 2011.
Apart from Lumwana, Konkola Copper mine has also
awarded its workers a 17 per cent pay rise for its workers after conclusive
negotiations.
