ANA reports that the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Tuesday evening that it was taking a new wage offer made by Eskom to its members.
The union indicated: “NUM has noted the latest offer from Eskom. There are two options that Eskom presented to the unions – options A and B. The NUM is taking the latest offer back to its members to give us a mandate as to whether they accept or reject the offer.” In a proposed three-year deal, Eskom’s first option was for a 7% increase in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and a housing allowance in line with the consumer price index (CPI). The second option proposed a 7.5% increase in 2018, and 7% for the next two years, with no housing allowance. Trade union Solidarity was reportedly ready to accept the new offer. The wage talks will reconvene on 27 July 2018, when unions will report back on the mandates from their members.
