Eskom's biggest union wants a pay hike of 15% as well as the reinstatement of performance bonuses and a R7 000 housing allowance.
This year's wage talks follow an impasse in 2022 that culminated in an unprotected strike which dealt a heavy blow to Eskom's already fragile capacity to generate electricity. The state-owned power utility ultimately reached a 7% wage increase agreement with unions after a week of protests and escalating load shedding.
It further wants the company contribution to medical aid to shift to 80%, with a 20% contribution by employees, as well as a standard cellphone allowance of R1 000 plus a R1 500 electricity allowance for Eskom workers. The union also wants Eskom's study benefit scheme – known internally as the Jan H Smith scheme – to increase to R20 000 per child.A R10 000 vehicle allowance for all employees that qualify for Eskom's so-called vehicle X-scheme;For certain lower salary scales to be scrapped altogether and for all employees to be shifted to a different level;Four weeks of paternity leave without impacting contingency leave;And for anyone retiring at 60 to leave with no penalties.
