Southern Clothing and Textile Workers’
Union members in the cotton textile sector have confirmed that five of the
employer associations have finalised their new mandate seeking process.
This as over 3 000 members of the
cotton and textile sector embarked on a strike three weeks ago demanding an
8.75%wage increase and a further 2.5 % on peripheral rights issues.
Sactwu’s National Coordinator for the
cotton textile sector Christopher Soetsane said the trade union's demand all
along has been at 9% when we reached that lock the union was at 7% then they
moved to 7.5% they rejected that lock.
“They presented a revised offer of 8% we
think that offer which represented by employer too mid actually level of our
mandate.” Seotsane added.
