The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) says it has signed an above-inflation wage increase of 7%, effective July 1, with the Bombela Operating Company (BOC), the agency which is running the Gautrain.

In a statement, the union indicates that it has been engaging the employer since April 29 regarding wage talks.

The proposed agreement entails a 7% across-the-board increase; an increase in transport subsidy to double from R50 to R100 per shift worked; the night shift allowance to increase from R30 to R32 hourly; and a one-year agreement from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.

“The increase in the transport allowance will definitely make a positive difference in the lives of members, given the rapid rise in transportation costs."
