The last time workers\u2019 salaries were increased was in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK Foods wanted to give its workers N$142 with no benefits on top of their already low salary of N$1 300,\u201d Mushongo said. He said before the agreement, the union was negotiating for an increase of N$350 across the board, and a transport allowance of N$250 as a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>However, the workers are happy with the agreement the two parties reached and are looking forward to new negotiations next year.
