South African power utility Eskom has commenced new wage negotiations with labor unions, with workers requesting a fifteen percent salary increase. Unions cite the corporation's improved financial performance, including a multi-billion rand profit and an extended period without load shedding, as justification for the raise.
Eskom has assured the public that the electricity supply will remain stable throughout the bargaining process. The company expressed a commitment to good-faith discussions, having presented its financial situation to union representatives. These talks proceed amid previous disagreements over the bargaining structure following Eskom's division into three separate entities.
