The parties to the National Bargaining
Council have concluded a Collective
Agreement in terms of which the total labour
cost increase for all "Metro" regions
amounts to 9% with effect from 1 September
2008, made up of a wage increase of 8.5% and
the difference of 0.5% to be allocated
towards a plant level Productivity Incentive
Scheme. This circular summarises the
outcome of the industry negotiations.
The Agreement will be submitted to the
Minister of Labour with a request that it be
extended to employers and employees in the
Industry, other than those who are party to
the Agreement, i.e. all Non-Parties.
Details of the negotiated settlement in
respect of the Western Cape Metro Region
(Parts F & H of the Council's National Main
Collective Agreement, excluding the
Magisterial Districts of George and
Worcester) are set our below.
