Fin24 reports that for the second week in a row, the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union (Sactwu) has secured a wage deal in a textile sub-sector, this time in the leather and tanning industry, with workers set to earn 7.25% more across the board.
Last week, Sactwu announced a settlement in the woven cotton industry, where workers will be getting a 7% increase after their talks with the SA Cotton and Textile Processing Employers Association. Like the woven cotton wage deal, the leather and tanning wage deal is a one-year agreement and will cover the period from July 2022 to June 2023. The agreement was reached late last week with employers represented by the SA Tanning Employers Organisation (Sateo). Sactwu said the increase would come into force immediately, with the first payment backdated to 1 July 2022. The union said the settlement would cover approximately 2,500 leather tanning sector workers nationally, in 24 factories.
