The Court has granted Eskom an interdict to prevent trade unions and its members from embarking on strike action from today onwards.

In a statement Eskom said that it provides an essential service, prohibiting employees from participating in industrial action.

However, the power utility has put contingency plans in place to ensure that electricity supply is not compromised.

“Eskom held discussions with NUM leadership on 21 and 23 May 2010, where both parties committed to working together within the Central Bargaining process which is scheduled to meet today and tomorrow,” Eskom said in a statement.
