The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (NUMSA), the National Union of Mineworkers
(NUM) and Solidarity came to an agreement with Eskom on Tuesday for a 7% wage
increase, costing Eskom an extra R1 billion.
Both Eskom and NUMSA confirmed the signing of the one-year wage deal. The long-
awaited agreement comes after a strike by essential service workers at Eskom saw the
power utility having no option but to implement Stage 6 load shedding last week. Apart
from the 7% wage bump, Eskom workers have also won a R400 increase in the housing
allowance as well as the reinstatement of certain conditions of service. “As NUMSA we
are pleased to have finally resolved this round of wage talks, particularly given the
difficult circumstances that we faced. The conditions of service which were unilaterally
withdrawn, and which caused so much pain to our members, have been restored. We
have also secured an improvement from last year, after Eskom imposed 1.5%,” the union
said in a statement. Eskom has voiced expectations that workers who remained absent
from their duties would return to work on Wednesday. However, the NUM’s general
secretary Makgabo Mabapa said that although the union echoed the call for all
members to return to work, he could not confirm when they would do so. Eskom has
been requested not to take disciplinary action against workers who failed to come to
