Transport industry, unions sign two-year wage agreement
The National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight and Logistics Industry (NBCRFLI) has concluded a two-year wage agreement, and ensured the extension of the agreement by the Minister of Employment and Labour to non-parties.
The agreement will see industry workers receive an across-the-board increase of 7% in the first year (March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026), including extended bargaining unit (EBU) employees up to Paterson Grade B4.
EBU employees in Paterson Grade C1 will receive a 6% increase.
In year two (March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027) all employees, including EBU employees up to Paterson Grade B4, will receive a 6% increase.
EBU employees in Paterson Grade C1 will be allocated a 5% increase.
In addition, the agreement will ensure workers receive an across-the-board increase of 7% in year one, and 6% in year two on consolidated allowances; night shift allowances; subsistence and cross border allowances; and dangerous goods allowances.
The NBCRFLI applauded the parties for their commitment in reaching a wage agreement which contributes to the labour stability seen in the road freight and logistics industry since the last industrial action in 2012.
The signatories to the agreement are the Motor Transport Workers Union of South Africa, the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union, the Road Freight Association, and the National Employers’ Association of South Africa.
