The Southern African Clothing
and Textile Workers Union have announced that its members in the Cotton Textile
sector will receive an 8.5 percent wage increase.
The agreement which was
reached in August last year was negotiated and concluded under the auspices of
the National Textile Bargaining Council.
SACTWU’s Deputy General
Secretary Chris Gina said in 2014 we concluded quite a range of a two year duration
wage agreement that runs between clothing factories up to textile factories, so
it is one of the sectors where we concluded a two year agreement.
Gina added that the effect of
the 8% increase is a result of our two year agreement that we have completed in
2014, but this new agreement will come into effect on 1 July 2015 .
