JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa says it anticipates a difficult wage negotiations season as it prepares to bargain in several sectors in the coming months.
The union held a collective bargaining conference this week where it held strategies on how to approach negotiations in the auto, aviation and security sectors.Recently amended strike and picketing laws in the country are among the list of issues Numsa said it will make this year’s negotiations tough for workers.
Spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola said the bargaining conference reflected on the difficulty this will pose to their ability to bargain with employers. South African trade unions have been given until just after June to change their constitutions in line with the amendments in the Labour Relations Act that require leaders to ballot their members on whether to embark on strike action.The Labour Registrar has warned that unions which fail to effect the changes could be deregistered.
