Die vakbond kritiseer die DA se anti-werkersbeleid, wat die sny van werkerbeskerming en subsidies insluit. Die woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die regerende party moet met progressiewe partye saamwerk om werkloosheid, armoede en ongelykheid te pak.

NUMSA expressed concerns that workers will get left behind if they do not occupy all spaces of the debate.  The union says it also has questions, why government is rushing to implement the transition in South Africa, when the carbon emissions are minimal, compared to other countries like Germany and the U.S. For more on this Elvis Presslin spoke to Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, NUMSA has rejected Eskom's latest wage offer of 4.5 percent. The power utility tabled the latest wage offer at the Centralized Bargaining Forum yesterday. Eskom was initially offering a 3.75 percent increase - Numsa is demanding a double-digit wage increase. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to NUMSA National Spokesperson, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola

Die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa, sê hy is verheug oor die bedanking van Eskom se uitvoerende hoof, André de Ruyter. Hy het ingestem om aan te bly tot einde Maart terwyl die raad na 'n plaasvervanger soek. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê De Ruyter is die swakste uitvoerende hoof in Eskom se geskiedenis en sy onbevoegdheid is die rede vir die hoë beurtkrag-vlakke. Sy sê die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, moet ook bedank.

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, NUMSA says the resignation of Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter was long overdue. The Union which has long called for his resignation says De Ruyter was not a suitable candidate to head the power utility. Numsa says workers experienced a high number of retrenchments due to persistent load shedding. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, NUMSA's National Spokesperson...

Die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa veroordeel die ANC-regering omdat hulle geweier het om beslissend op te tree om die kragkrisis wat die land tans in die gesig staar, te hanteer. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die land sukkel die afgelope paar dae met onophoudelike fase ses en vyf-beurtkrag. Volgens Hlubi-Majola verwerp Numsa met minagting die flou verskoning wat die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, oor beurtkrag aangebied het.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa sê hy veroordeel die Eskom-bestuur wat minstens 300 skoonmakers en tuiniers by Megawatt Park en die kragvoorsiener se kollege in Midrand sonder werk gelaat het. Die werkers wat aanvanklik aangestel is om skoonmaak- en tuinwerk vir Eskom by JV Kusile te doen, se kontrak het verstryk. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die kontrak is oorgeneem, maar die maatskappy het nie die werkers gehou nie en hulle is nou sonder werk:

Numsa het met minagting die Padongelukkefondsbestuur se pogings verwerp om die vakbond die sondebok te maak vir die afleggingsproses ingevolge artikel 189-A van die Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge. Die vakbond het kennis geneem van die kommunikasie wat die fonds se waarnemende korporatiewe ondersteuningsbeampte, Ian Barriel, en die uitvoerende hoof, Collins Letsoalo, uitgereik het. Hulle beweer daarin dat Numsa die proses begin het om werknemers af te lê. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê dit is glad nie waar nie.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa sê die uitvoerende hoof van Eskom, André de Ruyter, weet glad nie hoe om die land se energiekrisis op te los nie. Al meer stemme gaan op dat hy moet bedank weens die voortgesette beurtkrag. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê toe De Ruyter by die kragverskaffer begin het, het hy belowe om beurtkrag binne 18 maande te beëindig, maar hy kon nie sy belofte nakom nie. Hlubi-Majola sê daar moet gevra word wie se belange bevorder word met De Ruyter wat steeds toegelaat word op Eskom op 'n pad van vernietiging te lei:

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy will today sign a Power Purchase Agreement with three preferred bidders. This is part of broad measures to address the country's load-shedding crisis. The signing ceremony with the first preferred bidders will take place in Centurion, Pretoria. The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, NUMSA says the introduction of privately owned renewable Independent power producers will lead to massive job losses. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Numsa's national spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa en die Suid-Afrikaanse Kajuitpersoneelvereniging is ontsteld oor die besluit van die Suid-Gautengse Hooggeregshof om SA Express te likwideer. Die staatsbeheerde lugdiens is sedert sy voorlopige likwidasie in April 2020, buite aksie na mislukte pogings om dit te red. Die likwidasie van SA Express volg kort nadat die plaaslike lugdiens Comair in Junie gesluit het. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê hulle veroordeel die Departement van Openbare Ondernemings vir sy aandeel in die vernietiging van die lugdiens:

Die Metaalwerkersvakbond van Suid-Afrika het met werkgewers vergader onder die sambreel van die Bedingingsraad vir die Motorbedryf om loongesprekke verder te voer. Volgens die nasionale woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola eis hulle ʼn verhoging van 9,5 persent en 'n nagskoftoelaag vir vulstasiewerkers. Hlubi-Majola sê die loongesprekke het 'n dooiepunt bereik, vandaar die voorgestelde nasionale staking in die motorbedryf:

Numsa has called on the Transport Minister, Fikile Mbalula to withdraw government's subsidy to the bus company PUTCO. This follows the decision by PUTCO to dismiss some of the workers that have embarked on an industrial action over wages and the non-payment of a  six percent increase which was allegedly agreed upon back in 2020. Numsa accuses PUTCO of frustrating workers by applying for partial exemption from the agreement instead of implementing it. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Numsa's spokesperson, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola.  

Numsa doen 'n beroep op die minister van vervoer, Fikile Mbalula, om in te gryp by die huidige dooiepunt by die bus-onderneming Putco. Die vakbond sê die departement kan nie voortgaan om 'n busmaatskappy te betaal en te subsideer nie. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê Putco is gekant teen die werkers, krities oor die vakbond en uiters selfsugtig. Sy sê dis duidelik senior bestuur wil elke rand en sent van die kontantvloei in hul sakke steek en niks met die werkers deel nie.

Die Nasionale Metaalwerkersvakbond van Suid-Afrika het 'n dooiepunt oor lone met die myn- en metaalmaatskappy, South32 verklaar. Die maatskappy bied 'n algemene verhoging van 3,1 persent en 'n eenmalige verhoging van 4 persent aan wat slegs vir een maand in kontant betaal word. Die vakbond eis 'n algehele verhoging van 15 persent. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die rede vir die dooiepunt is hoofsaaklik omdat die werkgewer daarop aandring om 'n afgewaterde model te gebruik wanneer werkers by loongesprekke betrek word:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa het die Arbeidshof se weiering verwelkom van 'n aansoek van die werkgewers, Neasa en Saefa, teen die verlenging van die salarisooreenkoms wat die Bedingingsraad vir die Ingenieursbedryf onderteken het. Die betrokke ooreenkoms behels 'n verhoging van 6 persent op die minimumvergoeding in die metaal- en ingenieursektor. Die twee verenigings het die publikasie van die verlenging van die ooreenkoms in die Staatskoerant teengestaan en sê hulle kan dit nie kan bekostig nie. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi Majola, sê hulle ondersteun die hofuitspraak:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa gaan hom vandag in die Arbeidshof in Johannesburg verdedig teen aanklagte van minagting van die hof wat deur die voormalige tweede adjunkpresident, Ruth Ntlokotse, ingedien is. Sy het die hof gevra om die elfde nasionale kongres wat in Kaapstad gehou is, nietig te verklaar. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê Ntlokotse wil ook hê die vakbond se hoofsekretaris, Irvin Jim, en president Andrew Chirwa moet vir minagting van die hof gearresteer word:

Loon-onderhandelings tussen die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa, en die motorbedryf het misluk. Die vakbond het met verskeie werkgewers in die bedryf vergader en sê die maatskappye se aanbod was baie minder as wat gevra is. Werkers in die motorbedryf het gedreig om te staak as werkgewers nie gehoor gee aan hulle oproep vir 'n verhoging van 12 persent vir almal nie. Volgens die woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, wil die werkers ook 'n nagskof- en vervoertoelaag hê, asook mediese voordele vir vulstasie-werkers.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa sê werkgewers in die motorbedryf gaan 'n landwye staking veroorsaak. Die vakbond het met werkgewers, insluitend dié in die kleinhandel-motorbedryf en ook die Brandstofkleinhandel-vereniging vergader om oor lone te onderhandel. Numsa eis 'n jaar-ooreenkoms en 'n 12 persent loonverhoging vir almal. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê hulle het reeds drie rondes loongesprekke gevoer maar werkgewers het nog nie 'n aanbod gemaak nie:

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa's (Numsa) legal woes are mounting as its secretary-general Irvin Jim and president Andrew Chirwa face a possible 30 days in jail for contempt of court after pushing ahead with the union's interdicted national congress. The motion comes from formerly suspended Numsa member and president of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) Ruth Ntlokotse. She took her suspension to the Labour Court last month ahead of the national congress. The court ordered that her and other members' suspension be lifted and it interdicted the conference. Ntlokotse has applied to have the two union leaders arrested and found in contempt after they pressed on with the union's national congress last week, despite the interdict. Numsa resolved to lift the suspensions and proceeded with the national congress after having a special central committee meeting. The union applied unsuccessfully for leave to appeal the interdict, with Labour Court Judge Graham Moshoana saying that would be purely academic as events had gone ahead despite the court's decision. Numsa leadership who were elected at the interdicted congress said it would apply directly to Labour Appeals Court for relief as they believed Moshoana erred in his interpretation of the Numsa constitution. In her notice of motion, Ntlokotse said she wanted the court to declare that Numsa, Jim, and Chirwa had been in contempt of court for "failure to comply with the order made" by the Labour Court on 23 July. "The applicants intend applying to the above honourable court on 5 August 2022 at 10:00 or so soon thereafter for an order ... that all that was done as from 25 [to] 28 July 2022 under the guise of the 11th National Congress be declared to be null and void," the motion read. The motion stated that Ntlokotse sought a warrant of arrest for Jim and Chirwa for a period of 30 days, and to have all the resolutions passed at the interdicted congress, including nominations and elections "invalid and of no force and effect". Attempts to elicit comment from Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola were unsuccessful. Before the interdicted congress, Ntlokotse was the second deputy president of Numsa. She now works as president of Numsa's umbrella federation, Saftu, alongside the federation's secretary-general, Zwelinzima Vavi, who has of late been an open critic of Jim. Jim told delegates at the Numsa congress last week that Saftu leadership had grown "arrogant" and worked to sabotage the union's work in service to its members and workers at large. Numsa members told Fin24 during the congress that Ntlokotse was invited to the national congress after Numsa's special central committee resolved to lift her suspension in compliance with the Labour Court interdict of the weekend before.

Trade unions Numsa and NUM have signed a wage deal with Eskom of 7% across the board. The agreement follows a weeks-long strike by Eskom workers and days of Stage 6 load shedding. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, NUMSA National Spokesperson

Die vakbond sê Assange is 'n joernalis wat 'n vriend is van alle vredeliewende mense. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê in 2010 het WikiLeaks, gelei deur Assange, inligting bekendgemaak wat van 'n fluitjieblaser in die VSA ontvang is.

Die Nasionale Unie van Metaalwerkers van Suid-Afrika sê werknemers by die Mango-lugredery het besluit om saam te staan en te baklei teen die staatskaping wat lyk of dit van die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens af deursypel. Numsa het gister saam met nog twee vakbonde 'n dringende aansoek in die Suid-Gautengse Hooggeregshof ingedien om Mango onder sakeredding te plaas. Phakamile Hlubi-Majola van Numsa sê hulle wil verseker soveel moontlik poste by die lugredery kan gered word:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa doen 'n beroep op die ANC-regering om werkgewers in alle sektore van die ekonomie toe te laat om Covid-19-entstof te koop en werkers in die werkplek in te ent. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die ANC misluk klaaglik in sy reaksie op die ernstige Covid-19-krisis. Sy sê die krisis is 'n direkte gevolg van besluite deur die ANC en die implementering daarvan deur die minister van finansies, Tito Mboweni, wat 50,2 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand van die gesondheidsorg-begroting oor die volgende drie jaar gesny het:
