Lusanda Bill
19 July 2011
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa says their branches in eight out of the nine provinces have accepted a 10-percent wage increase from employers.
Union members will soon return to work following a two-week-long strike in the engineering sector.
Numsa’s Irvin Jim says branches in the Eastern Cape are still not happy with the offer.
They had originally called for a 13-percent increase.
Jim says however that a majority decision will be made and Numsa is satisfied with the offer.
