# The National Union of Mineworkers pledged solidarity with the United Steelworkers strike at Sibanye-Stillwater operations in the United States and Canada. NUM’s Mpho Phakedi says 420 workers downed tools on 3 September at the Nye Mine and Columbus Metallurgical Complex after wage talks deadlocked. NUM accuses the company of pushing deep concessions that would raise healthcare costs and cut earnings. He urges Sibanye-Stillwater to abandon its hardline stance and bargain in good faith.
