The Mineworkers Union of Namibia (MUN) has moved to reassure its members at Rössing Uranium and Husab Mine following the circulation of a labour arbitration award in favour of the Revolutionary Union (RU), saying the ruling does not automatically affect MUN’s recognition or bargaining rights at the two mining operations.
In a letter from MUN general secretary George Ampweya dated 13 August 2026 to MUN members, the union said it had taken note of the arbitration award involving RU and Beifang Mining Technology Services Namibia (Pty) Ltd, which it said was being circulated and used for recruitment and membership solicitation.
Ampweya said the award should not be interpreted as terminating MUN’s existing recognition and procedural agreements with Rössing Uranium and Husab Mine.
“The award being circulated does not, by itself, terminate or invalidate the existing recognition and procedural agreements between MUN and the respective employer at Rössing and Husab,” Ampweya said.
He said MUN remains the majority union at both operations and continues to enjoy recognition under the existing Recognition and Procedural Agreements.
