Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Unions are scheduled to meet with Eskom at the Central Bargaining Forum (CBF) at 14:00 on Tuesday afternoon, where labour is expected to formally table a mandate from membership on the power utility’s latest wage offer.<\/p>\n

This comes after two weeks of protest disruptions amid a wage talk deadlock that hindered maintenance work at Eskom stations and plunged South Africa into Stage 6 load shedding.<\/p>\n

After an intervention from Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan last week, the unions returned to the CBF to resume wage talks.<\/p>\n

Stage 6 load shedding to resume on Monday afternoon, Eskom announces<\/p>\n

Eskom revised its wage offer upwards twice, from zero to 5%, and then finally to 7%. Amid the deadlock, the National Union of Mineworkers demanded a 10% wage increase and the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa demanded a 12%. Solidarity made a demand of 5.9%.<\/p>\n

Solidarity security secretary in the public sector Helgard Cronj\u00e9 told Fin24 that unions were canvassing membership for a mandate on whether to accept or reject Eskom’s offer and the parties would meet at the CBF in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

If Eskom strikers aren’t punished, it will set a dangerous precedent, expert warns<\/p>\n

“Unions and Eskom are meeting at 14:00 this afternoon to discuss the mandates and hopefully to finalise negotiations,” said Cronj\u00e9.<\/p>\n

None of the unions have claimed responsibility for the protest disruptions.<\/p>\n

Eskom, which provides an essential service where labour cannot down tools, says it will not budge from its policy to punish those who disrupted operations.<\/p>\n
