Following three challenging weeks, the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) and leadership of South African Transport & Allied Workers union (Satawu) today (Monday, 17 November 2003) reached a settlement over the 2003/4 wage increase.
An agreement of 8% increase on basic pensionable salary was entered into and effective, in respect of all employees inside the bargaining unit, for the period commencing 1 September 2003 and ending 31 August 2004.
Management wishes to commend Satawu members for their commitment in finding a solution to the impasse and conducting themselves in a generally peaceful and lawful manner during picketing.
Management is of the view that the settlement is fair and that both parties are comfortable with the outcome.
