Electricity Wage Talks Break Down

| News by Staff Reporter

Wage negotiations between NUM and Eskom have reached a stalemate

The union NUM on Thursday said wage negotiations with employers at Eskom had broken down and it would thus request a mandate to strike from its members.

Wage negotiations between South Africa’s state-owned power utility Eskom and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) have collapsed, according to NUM.

The union yesterday (Thursday 4 August) said it would ask its members for a mandate to strike.

Paris Mashego, chief negotiator in the NUM – Eskom wage talks, yesterday said, “A strike is no longer an option, it’s a reality.”

But Eskom has warned that workers who go ahead with the strike action would face disciplinary charges as the supply of electricity is a protected essential service.

Before the union can legitimately call a strike, however, certain other procedures must be followed, including the engagement of a mediator.
