Co-ordinator Nazir Armoed said the new wage increase will come into effect on
the 1st of July and will benefit about 7 000 workers employed
in the footwear factories nationally.

offer put on the table which was an improvement of the past offer that SACTWU
requested.
“When sent out a note to SACTWU that all
workers will commence on the 23rd as all our members have accepted
the offer and all will be back at work Armoed added.
