Wed, August03, 2011 |I-Net Bridge
Workers in the coal sector are expected to return to their posts on Tuesday after the unions and the Chamber of Mines signed a two-year wage agreement, ending an eight-day strike.
Frans Barker, negotiator on behalf of coal mines, told I-Net Bridge that the wage settlement with Nation Union of Mineworkers, United Association of SA (Uasa) and Solidarity, ranged between 8% and 10.5% in the first year. Unions will receive 7.5% and 10% in the second year.
The NUM, Uasa and Solidarity downed tools in the coal sector a little more than a week ago over salary increases.
NUM, which collectively represents 150,000 workers, and Uasa were demanding a 14% pay rise. Solidarity was demanding a 12% increase.
The coal mining companies involved are Anglo American Thermal Coal, Delmas Coal, Exxaro Coal Mpumalanga, Kangra Coal, Optimum Coal and Xstrata Coal. (Business Day)
