14 March 2016
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) held its National Pre-Bargaining Seminar on the 10th – 12th March 2016 in preparation for Collective bargaining that is scheduled to commence with Eskom, and the following decisions were taken:
The NUM supports the investigation by the Treasury on Eskom corrupt tendencies pertaining to coal contracts, and we believe that this investigation will yield positive results.
We call upon the Treasury to further extend its scope of investigation to include possible corruption by Eskom Management in the awarding of tenders on various projects across the company and its subsidiaries,
We vehemently oppose the sale of Eskom Finance Company also known as (EFC) and call upon Eskom and government to suspend the sale of all assets, including the sale of the (EFC),
