Numsa to address members on wage agreement─── 07:55 Sat, 15 Apr 2017
Johannesburg - The National Union of Metalworkers SA (Numsa) says it will address its members today on the agreement reached between three unions in the bus transport sector.
eNCA reports the agreement reached yesterday effectively ended the industrial action.
Three unions, including transport and allied workers' union Satawu, agreed to a nine percent pay increase after Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant intervened.
Also included in the deal is a 10 percent increase in allowances, but the wage deal is for only a year.
Numsa and the Transport and Service Workers Union (Taswu) rejected the deal, but will take it to members for discussion. Numsa says the working conditions of drivers have not been addressed by employers.
