Johannesburg - Power utility Eskom
on Thursday confirmed that a wage agreement had been reached with
representative unions, thereby averting a threatened strike by the utilities
employees.
Eskom said the agreement with the National Union of Mineworkers (Num),
the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) and Solidarity
had been struck late last night and follows a successful conciliation
process by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration
(CCMA).
The parties agreed that Eskom would increase salaries by 10.5% across
the board and to review the existing housing policy.
"This task will be delegated to a work group comprising equal
representation from the employer and the unions and to be facilitated by a
commissioner from the CCMA. The Work Group will review the existing housing
policy, including a housing allowance and all other possibilities," said
Eskom in a statement.
The parties are meeting on Thursday at the CCMA to finalise the
substantive terms of the agreement, which will be signed on Monday next
week.
