News24 reports that the White River Saw Mill in Mpumalanga on Wednesday denied claims that it had offered employees a 78c wage increase.
Saying that the allegations were “irresponsible and untruthful”, company spokesperson Karlien Maritz added: “The increase which the company has implemented and which is already in effect, is higher than that guided by the substantive agreement on wages and other conditions of employment for the saw milling chamber of the National Bargaining Council for the Wood and Paper Sector, which was agreed to for the 2016/2017 period and signed by parties on 02 August 2016.” She declined to indicate the exact percentage. About 500 workers have gone on strike after they were allegedly offered a 78c wage increase. The workers are seeking a basic salary of R5,000.
