Fin24 reports that trade unions will meet with Eskom on Tuesday to give feedback on the power utility’s most recent wage offer.
Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said on Monday that he was hopeful that the three unions, namely Solidarity, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa), would provide positive feedback following discussions with their members. Noting that the talks commenced on 10 May, Phasiwe commented: "At some point we need to agree or see if we must go to the CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration)." In its latest offer, Eskom proposed a 7.5 % wage increase for the first year, followed by a 6.5% and 6.25% hike for the following two years
