South Africa s National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) wants a 15% wage increase across the board for employees in the gold mining sector, as well as minimum pay of R15 000, the union said on Thursday.
Soaring global gold prices over the past year have seen earning by gold firms surge, but the companies have argued that above-inflation increases are unrealistic.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa’s National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Wednesday it planned to seek a hike of at least 15% in a three-year wage deal at upcoming negotiations with gold miners and state utility Eskom.

NUM said it would consolidate the wage demands from all sectors it operates in, and would seek increases of between 15% to 20%, or 15,000 rand ($1,016) minimum, alongside other demands including medical aid contributions and COVID-19 health and safety leave.
Higher gold prices, which reached a record in August last year, boosted 2020 earnings and offered mining companies a lifeline following production disruptions because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

African Trade Unions have called on the newly appointed Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Okonjo-Iweala, to ensure that global trade agreements promote workers’ rights, eradicate poverty and guarantee sustainable industrial development in the world.
They made this appeal in a congratulatory message to the new WTO Director General, signed by the Vice President, IndustriALL Global Union, IGU, Africa, Issa Aremu, and Joseph Montisetse of South Africa’s National Union of MineWorkers (NUM), and also Co- Chairman, the African Council of the Global Union.
According to the African Unionists, given her impeccable credentials as finance and foreign Minister and record performance at the World Bank, Dr Ngozi’s appointment was earned and deserved, beyond gender.
