# ArcelorMittal South Africa has filed for leave to appeal the Labour Court ruling ordering the reinstatement of retrenched workers at the Newcastle and Vereeniging plants. Metalworkers union Numsa had approached the court seeking an urgent interdict compelling Amsa to issue a fresh retrenchment notice or resume consultations under the January notice issued by the company. Amsa maintained that it has complied with all its obligations to consult fairly during the wind-down process. It adds that it had no other option but to place the long-steel business into care and maintenance.
