Labour unions accept Eskom's 7% wage increase

South African labour groups agreed to a wage offer from the state-owned power utility, ending an impasse over increases that triggered a week of illegal protests and deepened electricity outages.

Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., which generates almost all of the nation’s electricity, was scheduled to meet with the unions on Tuesday over the pay deal.

Well done guys. You fought long and hard for freedom.

Workers of the world, unite!

 

[RedViking]

....... wait for it.

Which will make absolutely real zero difference to load shedding.

Performance and ANC led institutions are like oil and water.

Except the water's been shut off and they've run out of money to buy the oil.

 

[porchrat]

Finally.

Now get your ungrateful, overpaid asses back into those power stations and fix the mess you made.

 

[The Darkness]

This is just the beginning. Big mistake

Why the kid gloves, if they are holding the infrastructure hostage, deal with them using force if necessary.

I wonder if they got their "sweetener". Because nothing says thanks for the terrorism like a cash bonus.

'We accept 7% increase but consider adding R15,000 one-off sweetener' — NUM members

Eskom employees have overwhelmingly accepted Eskom's 7% wage increase offer but many regions are proposing an additional one-off R15,000 sweetener.

Then I think it only fair that the Eskom paying consumer also receives a R15k sweetner for all the annoyance and problems these half witted useless twats cause...

Don't be ridiculous. You've got to cripple a power grid and throw some petrol bombs for that.

Wish my boss would give out raises and bonuses's for incompetence.
Die eskom naiers moes eintlik nou werkloos gesit het. Now they get rewarded for bad behaviour.

Eskom offered 0%
They got 7%
Winning

 

[saor]

They got 7%

Till next time. They know how to play this card now.

 

[2023]

the power utility last week agreed to unions' demands on the reinstatement of some conditions of employment in addition to the 7% salary increase offer it tabled and a R400 top-up to the housing allowance.

Anybody know what was re-instated here?

 

[Mystic Twilight]

That 7% increase is probably soon to be a fair less in spending power, after every retailer and their supply chain hikes their prices due to increased operational overhead costs to deal with paying for standby power for the stage 6 load shedding. Might not feel it now, but will be here soon.

 

[r00igev@@r]

The unions can voetsek. Bliksems!

 

[Gazg]

LMFAO..........held the country to ransom, rejected negotiated 7% increase, a week later the same 7% was accepted. Wankers.
Get rid of this ANC government now!!
