Talks continue between steel company ArcelorMittal SA and labour union, Numsa .
This follows the company’s decision to retrench 107 workers ahead of the festive season.
Numsa members have embarked on strike action last week, affecting some of the company’s operations in Vanderbijlpark.
On Friday, the steel company approached the Labour Court on an urgent basis to interdict the ongoing strike at its Coke plant.
However, the court dismissed the application citing that the strike action is protected.
The two parties continue to engage with each other to resolve the protest action as well as the retrenchment issue.
