Eskom employees have overwhelmingly accepted Eskom's 7% wage increase offer but many regions are proposing an additional one-off R15,000 sweetener.
This emerged at a Monday feedback meeting of the leading union, the National Union of Mineworkers , ahead of a shop steward council with the National Union of Metalworkers of SA who are currently meeting and consolidating their position on a salary increase offer by Eskom.
All NUM regions that made presentations in the morning accepted the 7% salary increase offer that the power utility offered on Friday, however some proposed amendments. He said they also proposed that Eskom pay them a R15,000 one-off fee, which was supported by other regions that presented their feedback.
“We must teach Eskom a lesson so that in future they don't have to change the conditions of employment unilaterally,” a member told the shop stewards council.
