The Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi wants all minimum wage agreements reconsidered.

He said that workers should be paid according to the jobs they are doing.

“Rock drill operators must be paid well because their job is demanding, they must be rewarded” Vavi stated, speaking at a Cosatu rally at Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg on Saturday.


 
He said that for future negotiations, the they would not discuss percentages as workers “want money, not percentages”.
