[miningmx.com] — TENS of thousands of workers led by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa ended a two-week pay strike in the steel and engineering sector on Sunday, union leaders said.
Workers accepted a 10% wage rise from the employers’ body, the Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of South Africa (Seifsa). Numsa had initially demanded a 13% increase while SEIFSA’s original offer was a 7% rise.
“Workers will therefore return to work in the next 48 hours starting on Monday,” NUMSA spokesperson Castro Ngobese said in a statement.
