South African Union Signs Above-Inflation Motor Sector Wage Deal

South Africa’s largest union has signed an above-inflation wage increase on behalf of its 90,000 members in the motor industry.

The tiered agreement is for three years from Sept. 1, with the largest improvement pegged at 6%, the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa said in an emailed statement Sunday. The labor organization known as Numsa had previously been seeking a 10% raise.
