Workers from the SA Transport and Allied Workers Union have rejected the Commission of Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA)'s recommendations to try and solve its wage dispute with Transnet. | News24_Business
The union said it believes its demands are justifiable. The workers are demanding a 12% increase, while Transnet offered 1.5%, which it later increased to 3%.
In the latest bid to end the strike, Transnet tabled a three-year wage offer, offering a 4.5% across-the-board increase in the current year on Wednesday. The latest offer also includes a 5.3% across-the-board increase in 2023/24, a 5.3% across-the-board increase in 2024/25, and a 4.5% increase in the medical aid allowance in 2022/23 to be adjusted in subsequent years, in line with the increase.
"We believe that Transnet SOC has a responsibility to work with labour in mitigating the social harms caused by the crisis-riddled economic mode of production. This can be achieved by agreeing to the demands tables by employees that share a commonality of interest to reconfigure and grow the South African economy in the same proportion as their improved and secure socio-economic development," said Mazibuko.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
