The
Food and Allied Workers Union has announced that the possible strike in the
Illovo sugar estate has been averted.
The strike could have involved about 1 300 workers.
The
workers have accepted a wage offer of 10% however Fawu’s August Mbhele
said employers need to engage with the union on other issues or they risk a
possible strike action in the next bargaining season in 2015.
We
have agreed that the A band from them will get 10% and the second band
will get 9.5% and the third band will get 9%.
We
have agreed that the casual workers will be converted from now until next year
when there are places available for permanent” Mbhele added.
