Eskom said on Friday morning that it had “exercised its right and made a decision to implement its final 1.5% basic wage increase and changes to the conditions of service offer with effect from 01 July 2021”.
National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and Solidarity. The impasse has been referred to the CCMA for arbitration and it is not clear exactly when that process will take place. NUM, which has been demanding a 15% wage hike, holds that Eskom’s implementation move is unlawful and it is therefore taking the matter to court, according to a letter it sent to Eskom on Thursday and which“In protection of employees’ rights, be informed that NUM will be activating applicable judicial measures shortly in this regard,” the letter says. “NUM asserts on record that your intent to implement Eskom’s final salary offer while ‘compulsory arbitration’ is still to take place is unlawful.
Eskom’s financial situation is fragile but NUM has long maintained that its members should not be penalised because of past mismanagement and outright looting at the ailing SOE. There is certainly a lot of bad blood between the union and Eskom’s current management.
