Cosatu Welcomes Proposal for CPI+1% Minimum Wage Increase

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Union Cosatu said domestic workers will be the biggest beneficiaries of the proposed increase to the National Minimum Wage to come into effect next year.
  • Cosatu has welcomed the move by the National Minimum Wage Commission which has proposed a CPI plus one percent increase.
  • If CPI remains at 5% this could mean a 6% increase in the national minimum wage from R21.69 to R23. This would mean an increase from R19.09 to R23 for domestic workers.
  • Parks said the commission and the department of employment and labour must move with speed to ensure implementation.
