Rössing Uranium and the Mine Workers Union of Namibia (MUN) Rössing Branch have signed a revised Recognition and Procedural Agreement, marking the first full review of the document since before Namibia’s independence.
The updated agreement brings the mine’s labour relations framework in line with the Labour Act of 2007, specifically Sections 67 to 69, which cover the recognition of trade unions and procedural agreements, and Section 2(b), which promotes sound labour relations.
Rössing said the agreement reflects “a shared commitment to modernising the mine’s employee relations framework” and aligning it with “current labour legislation, operational realities, and best practices in industrial relations”.
Liezl Davies, General Manager for Human Capital, Safety and Sustainability at Rössing Uranium , said the revised agreement provides “clear procedural structures for workplace engagement, consultation, and dispute resolution”, which are key to maintaining a fair and resilient working environment.
The review followed several months of structured negotiations between Rössing and the MUN branch committee.
“This outcome reflects Rössing Uranium’s commitment to good governance, lawful compliance, social dialogue, and the continuous strengthening of its relationship with employees and organised labour,” Davies said.
