Cement producer PPC and trade union National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) have reached an agreement on wage negotiations at the company’s Slurry plant, in the North West.
This followed a protected strike by the union on Monday after the parties were unable to reach an agreement through a Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration commissioner.
Wage negotiations resumed on Wednesday.
“As a general principle, the company ensures that the salary increases are at least 1% above the prevailing Consumer Price Index, and takes into consideration the affordability and sustainability of the business,” said PPC in a statement on Thursday.
