After a marathon of negotiations between Eskom and workers’ unions in South Africa a deal was reached. According to a Facebook post by Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe on August 12, the “14-hour marathon wage negotiation process that was brokered by the CCMA until the early hours of this morning, both NUM and Solidarity have signed a wage increase of between 8.5% and 10%, with the lowest paid workers getting a 10% pay raise for the this year.”
In the second year, all workers will receive a pay rise of 8%, the post said. Phasiwe went on to say that Numsa had yet to sign the deal, but have agreed in principle to the settlement.
He said Numsa has not signed the deal yet, but they have, in principle, accepted the settlement.
The stoppage at Eskom coincided with a strike over wages by around 15,000 workers in the petrochemical industry that has been going on for over a week but has so far not caused any significant fuel shortages.
