Update on Wage Negotiations 2018/2019 (Update 9/2018)
The arbitration of IMATU’s dispute, before Mr Pat Stone, was concluded yesterday.
Prior to the commencement of the arbitration, the parties held a pre-arbitration conference in order to agree on the facts and determine the terms of reference and powers of the arbitrator.
During the pre-arbitration discussions, an opportunity emerged for the two trade unions to consolidate their approaches and present a joint position to the arbitrator. This would require IMATU to make a slight amendment to its position namely that the additional 0,5% for low income earners (earning less than R9 000.00) be implemented with effect from 1 October 2018, instead of 1 January 2019 as contained in the facilitator’s proposal.
