Tough times ahead for wage negotiations

Tensions within unions may not work in favour of business, according to political commentator Aubrey Matshiqi. Speaking at the annual conference of the Road Freight Association (RFA), he said opposing factions within the unions were very real, but that business would not necessarily see the benefit. “Within your sector the unions are seeing some major upheavals, but it is more than likely that the different factions will put all their views and differences aside to come together in wage negotiations against you.”
