4 July 2023
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) has secured an above inflation wage increase of 8% across the board for all workers at Gautrain. Currently the Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) is at 6.9%. The union has been engaged in wage talks with Gautrain management since April this year, and we deadlocked in June. Our members balloted for a strike on Friday, but fortunately, management requested a meeting over the weekend, and made an offer to settle this round of wage talks.
The wage agreement is broken down as follows:
1. An 8% wage increase across the board
2. Housing allowance has been increased by 10% to R1210
