Agri Wes-Kaap verneem met teleurstelling dat die nasionale minimumloon van 1 Maart af met 8,5% tot R27,58 per uur sal styg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is teleurgesteld dat die minimumloonkommissie nie georganiseerde landbou se aanbeveling om die minimumloon op \u2019n volhoubare manier te verhoog, in ag geneem het nie,\u201d s\u00ea Jannie Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap het by die kommissie gepleit om werkskepping, die behoud van huidige werksgeleenthede, en die finansi\u00eble implikasie vir ondernemings as die kernprioriteit tydens die hersiening van die minimumloon te beskou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het daarom kommentaar gelewer dat die verhoging in verhouding tot die inflasiekoers oorweeg moet word,\u201d voer hy verder aan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap ondersteun \u2019n volhoubare lewensloon, maar \u2019n verhoging bo inflasie kan nie geregverdig word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Produsente is prysnemers wie se kontantvloei reeds onder enorme druk is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoewel baie permanente agriwerkers reeds meer as die minimumloon verdien, kan landbou nie jaarlikse verhogings bo inflasie in een produksie-inset bekostig nie,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit sal aansienlik bydra tot die kosteknyptang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook die Vryheidsfront+ het ges\u00ea hy is gekant teen die verhoging van die minimumloon, wat volgens hom buitensporig is en net as \u2019n politieke speelbal deur die ANC gebruik word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die VF Plus-LP en -hoofwoordvoerder, Helo\u00efse Denner, het ges\u00ea nes regstellende aksie (RA) en swart ekonomiese bemagtiging (SEB) slegs \u2019n handjievol kaders ten koste van die massas bevoordeel, net so sal die verhoogde minimumloon ten beste \u2019n klein groepie ten koste van miljoene werkloses bevoordeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is vir die ANC-regering bloot n\u00f3g \u2019n goedkoop manier om politieke punte voor die verkiesing aan te teken met geen inagneming van die skadelike gevolge daarvan nie,\u201d het Denner ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ges\u00ea die VF Plus is sterk gekant teen \u2019n minimumloon en dit druis in teen die gesonde beginsels van \u2019n vryemark\u00adstelsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVergoeding moet billik wees en moet voortspruit uit \u2019n onderhandelingsproses tussen werkgewer en werknemer onderhewig aan ervaring en produktiwiteit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie uitbuiting van werkers deur \u2019n hongerloon is verkeerd en onaanvaarbaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie realiteit van die verhoging van 8,5% van die nasionale minimumloon tot R27,58 per uur is bloot dat baie mense hul werk gaan verloor en die land se werkloosheidsyfer dus verder gaan toeneem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het bygevoeg dat die Reserwebank se vooruitgeskatte gemiddelde inflasiekoers vir vanjaar 5% is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit maak dit duidelik dat \u2019n verhoging van 8,5% heeltemal buitensporig is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense met \u2019n basiese maandelikse inkomste soos pensioentrekkers sal nie die verhoogde minimumloon kan bekostig nie. Salaristrekkers met \u2019n gemiddelde inkomste sukkel self al hoe meer om te oorleef en sal toenemend self die moue moet oprol om hul tuis- en tuinwerk te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie gevolg is dat werkers soos huishulpe en tuinwerkers afgedank gaan word en nie meer werk gaan kry nie. Dieselfde gaan met plaaswerkers gebeur, wie se lone gestandaardiseer is met die algemene minimumloon en nie meer op \u2019n sektorale grondslag geskied nie. Boere sal al hoe meer moet meganiseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie waarheid is dat duisende salaristrekkers geld afknyp vir \u2019n huishulp of tuinwerker omdat hulle besef die mense is werkloos en simpatie met hulle het.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
