Media Alert: Unilever Employees Demand 12 % wage hike
Hundreds of
Unilever employees embarked on industrial action at the Indonsa factory in Kwa-Zulu
Natal towards the end of May 2022 following failed wage talks with the employer
and under the auspices of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and
Arbitration. Our members demand a 12
percent wage increase which they have submitted in February this year, an increase
in the staff quarterly vouchers, an increase in sick leave from 10 to 15 days
and for the implementation date to be backdated to April 1 2022.
The company
however withdrew its proposal on 30 May 2022 after workers rejected it since it
was the very same proposal the company had made during a deadlock between
parties. The company’s latest wage
proposal offer came at around 5,8 percent while the stance of the union
mandated a 9,5 percent wage increase.
Viva FAWU
Viva!!!
