The Democratised Transport Logistics and Allied Workers Union are celebrating after they reached an above-inflation wage agreement with the SA National Roads Agency or Sanral. Wage negotiations started a fortnight ago, with DETAWU demanding a 13% salary hike.

The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) workers have reached an above-inflation wage agreement with the employer. The workers have secured an impressive 7.5% pay hike this year and an 8,5% increase for the following year. Detawu is an affiliate of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) and a majority union at Sanral.

Detawu national organiser Praisewell Nsibande says, “Detawu is pleased to sign the above-inflation wage agreement at Sanral. The agreement is a multi-year agreement at 7,5% and 8,5%. We’ve also achieved the benefits of medical aid by 50%.

Nsibande says, “We are also very happy about achieving this agreement under this global economic situation which is bad. We are also pleased by the employer’s cooperation during the wage negotiations. We are also happy for our members in terms of what we’ve achieved.”
