Statement by Abigail Moyo, spokesperson of the trade union UASA:
UASA signed a five-year wage agreement between Cullinan Petra Diamond Mine and labour on behalf of its members at the miner’s head office in Bryanston. The agreement is effective from 1 July 2024 to 1 July 2028.
UASA welcomes agreements with employers who can afford and are willing to work with labour toward better wages.
The agreement stipulates that:
- C Lower workers will receive 5.5%/CPI for the first three years and 6%/CPI in years four and five.
- C Upper workers will receive a 5%/CPI increase in the first three years of the agreement and a 5.25%/CPI increase in years four and five. The company’s pension fund contribution for C Upper will increase by 0.5% from 7.5% to 8% for the duration of the agreement.
UASA is proud of its team for skilfully negotiating on behalf of our members and ensuring that collective bargaining prevails. The mining industry remains the backbone of South Africa, and we believe that such a positive increase will positively contribute to the livelihood and well-being of our members and all workers employed in the organisation.
