JOHANNESBURG, 22 JULY 2014 – The Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (SEIFSA) wishes to clarify that the employers’ acceptance of the Minister’s proposal is conditional upon a resolution of Section 37, and its acceptance by the unions no later than Friday (25 July).
Several social media reports have stated that SEIFSA has accepted the Minister’s proposal unconditionally – this is not true and it is clearly articulated in the press release (issued this morning) that employers have accepted the Minister’s proposal on wages but not on Section 37.
