Reinstate Namibian Hasab Mine Unionist Marcia Kauatjitotje
Namibian unionist Marcia Kauatjitotje is a union leader at the second largest uranium mine in the world owned by Chinese state owned China General Nuclear Power Group CGNP. She was fired after exposing the conditions at the mine and participating in the Namibian Labour Tribunal last October in the capital Windhoek. She also went to the media and that was one of the charges against her. The Chinese owners said that she had exposed the work conditions embarrassing the company and it's subcontractor Eagle Night Watch. These workers are forced to do mine work at substandard wages with no healthcare and benefits. Since they are contract workers they also cannot purchase homes.
Namibian unionist Marcia Kauatjitotje is a union leader at the second largest uranium mine in the world owned by Chinese state owned China General Nuclear Power Group CGNP. It supplies nuclear fuel to nuclear plants in Guangzhou and the Guangdong province. Kauatjitotje was suspended by the Husab Eagle Night Watch contractor after she spoke out about the conditions for contract workers at the mine in 2023.
The company has subcontracted more and more of the work to contractors such as Eagle Night Watch where Marcia Kauatjitotje was a union representative . These workers are contract workers without healthcare and other benefits of permanent workers but do a variety of work at the mine. They also have no proper health and safety gloves, masks and other PPE to protect themselves at the highly toxic radioactive mine dust and chemicals used to process the uranium.
She has spoken up for workers for years and when she spoke out to the media and also attended the Namibian Labour Tribunal she was suspended by the company. She is now fighting for her job back and she was elected to the leadership of the newly formed Namibian Workers United.
