The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) says it is still demanding a 15% wage increase at Eskom, and not 5%, as some media houses have reported in the past few days.
The union leadership urged its members on Thursday not to be misled by the media reports that the union has revised its benefits and salary offer from 15% to 5%.
“The NUM negotiating team will only get the mandate to revise the offer from its members who are the owners of the union,” the union said in a statement.
“We need to continue with our legal pickets and memorandum’s handover in all workplaces.”
The union said in a statement that on June 10, the NUM, NUMSA and Solidarity met with Eskom at the CCMA Head Office in Johannesburg.
The purpose of the meeting was conciliation and mediation after Eskom aborted the negotiations and referred the case to CCMA.
