The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the end to the 5 week long strike in the metal and engineering sector.
Members of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa accepted a 10
percent wage increase on Monday.
DA MP of Labour Ian Ollis said both parties need to seek to ensure stable
labour relations within the sector going forward.
Ollis said we are quite happy that the strike has come to an end as workers
are able to go back to work and the industry can go back to normal.
“The economy struggling so much this year due to large scale strikes in the
platinum industry however the DA feels it’s time that we review the current
state of labor relations in South Africa Ollis added.
