The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) has signed a new wage agreement for one year with the Bombela Operating Company which manages the Gautrain. The agreement was signed yesterday (16 July) and is valid from 1 July 2025 to the 30th of June 2026.
It is broken down in the following way:
- We have negotiated a 4,25% wage increase across the board
- Housing allowance from R1300 to R1400.
- Night work/Transport allowance has increased from R112 to R125.
- Night Shift allowance increased from R38 to R40 per hour
- KPI bonus increased in terms of the wage increase at a rate of 4.25% from R9600 to R10 016.
- The agreement will be backdated to the 1st of July.
NUMSA is satisfied with the agreement because it was negotiated under very difficult conditions of a low March CPI rate of 2.7%. One of the benefits of this agreement is that all of the allowances increased by more than the 4.25% across the board increase.
