ON Friday three trade unions signed a three-year wage agreement that will see Eskom employees receiving salary increases of 7% per annum.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), Solidarity, and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) signed the wage agreement which was negotiated at Eskom’s Centralized Bargaining Forum.
The three year agreement is valid from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026. The wages will be increased by 7% per annum across the board for the three years.
This year’s increase will be effective from 30 June and will be implemented in terms of Eskom’s remuneration principles.
NUMSA National Spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola said part of the agreement includes a housing allowance which will be increased by 7% per annum for three years.
Hlubi-Majola said Eskom agreed to pay a once off taxable payment of R10 000 to all employees for two years.
