Trade unions at Eskom say there are currently three outstanding issues that have to be discussed further before they can determine a way forward.
JOHANNESBURG -
While Eskom has offered workers a 7% wage increase, there are other benefits that are yet to be finalised. “After the caucus of Eskom, those issues we have raised, they would have been responded [to] in a positive manner. We will see a very huge progress. We may tentatively go out of this meeting having progress that we can go and seek a final mandate.”Workers have been complaining about Eskom unilaterally removing benefits such as double overtime payments for working weekends and while on standby.
