BCL Mine 'digs deep' to offer 7.5% wage rise

BCL Mine has offered a 7.5 percent across-the-board wage increase for the 2010/11 financial year and a separate offer of 10 percent for the least paid workers, BusinessWeek has learnt.

Authoritative BCL sources say union leaders were scheduled to meet with workers at a general meeting in Selebi-Phikwe where the offer was to be approved or rejected at the time of going to press last night.

If the offer was accepted, the lowest paid workers at BCL Mine will earn P1 500 per month. The 7.5 percent offer applies to the approximately 5 000 strong workforce except workers between SP1 and SP3 who are the least paid.
