The National Union of Mineworkers is
demanding from Eskom a one year agreement with a salary increase of 12 percent
across the board. This as the country is
in its mid-year strike season.
Eskom offered the union 5.6 percent
wage increase but NUM has rejected this latest offer.
NUM Chief Negotiator at Eskom Helen
Diatile said the Congress of South African Trade Union needs to intervene
because members are treated like slaves because they cannot strike as they are
Diatile said Eskom has money but
they would prefer to give it to the lawyers. They would rather work with
lawyers than the employees, they need to prioritize as who is important.
