Epol se hoofbestuurder, Jacques Eksteen, s\u00ea by navraag die maatskappy is sedert Oktober 2023 besig met \u2019n jaarlikse kollektiewe bedingingsproses met Fawu, wat sy lede by die Worcester-meule verteenwoordig. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea deur die loop van meer as tien sessies het die maatskappy konsekwent sy standpunt gekommunikeer, wat grootliks gevorm word deur sy (die maatskappy se) finansi\u00eble omstandighede, uitdagende handelstoestande en die intens mededingende mark waarin dit bedrywig is. <\/p>\n
Eksteen s\u00ea met inagneming van faktore soos dalende verkoopsvolumes, heersende inflasiekoerse en die gemiddelde verhoging wat aan werknemers in soortgelyke rolle oor die maatskappy heen toegestaan word, glo die maatskappy dat 6% \u2019n billike aanbod verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n
Met betrekking tot die maandelikse maaltydtoelae s\u00ea Eksteen: \u201cDit is onakkuraat om voor te stel dat sekere werknemers \u2019n R310- maandelikse maaltydtoelae ontvang, terwyl ander slegs R75 ontvang. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie werknemers waarna die vakbond verwys behoort aan \u2019n ander afdeling, met sy eie kollektiewe bedingingsproses, geskiedenis en onderhandelde uitkomste.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het ses voermeulens oor die land heen en ons glo dat ons maatskappy mededingende en vergelykende voordele aan alle werknemers bied, en ons verseker gelykheid oor ons hele arbeidsmag.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens Eksteen is die 2-kg-hoender deur die Kersbewys vervang. Hy s\u00ea daar is reeds etlike jare gelede ooreengekom op die verwydering van die 2-kg-hoendervoordeel as deel van \u2019n onderhandelde skikking met die vakbond.<\/p>\n
Volgens hom was daar geen onlangse versoek van die vakbond om hierdie voordeel weer in te stel nie.<\/p>\n
Eksteen s\u00ea die vakbond se eis vir \u2019n verhoging van 47% op die huidige Kersbewys kan nie geregverdig word gegewe die huidige ekonomiese omstandighede nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns is veral bedag op fluktuerende markpryse, veral in die konteks van abnormale omstandighede soos di\u00e9 wat deur die KI-verwante hoendertekort gedryf word. <\/p>\n
\u201cHoewel ons korttermyn-uitdagings verstaan, is dit van kardinale belang om langtermyn-besluite op volhoubare ekonomiese beginsels te baseer. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie maatskappy het aangebied om die huidige toelaag met 11% te verhoog, wat steeds nie deur die vakbond aanvaar is nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Met betrekking tot die oortyd-ooreenkoms wat nog nie op skrif gestel is nie, s\u00ea Eksteen die maatskappy maak as \u2019n deurlopende bedryf staat op ononderbroke produksie om sy verpligtinge na te kom, veral in die versorging van diere. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns benodig werknemers wat bereid is om oortyd te werk wanneer nodig. <\/p>\n
\u201c \u2019n Formele voorstel wat in Desember 2023 ter tafel gel\u00ea is, is \u2019n paar weke gelede deur die vakbond aanvaar. Ons het dus \u2019n beginselooreenkoms in hierdie verband bereik.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eksteen s\u00ea die maatskappy respekteer absoluut die reg om \u2019n stakingsaksie te onderneem. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea die maatskappy is diep bekommerd oor die potensi\u00eble impak van \u201cgeen werk, geen betaling\u201d op sy werknemers. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn die twee weke van die staking het werknemers effektief \u2019n jaarlikse verhoging in lone verbeur. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns glo daar is geen regverdigbare redes vir die voortslepende staking nie, aangesien die bestuur elke punt wat deur die vakbond geopper is, ywerig aangespreek het. Dit is ons opregte hoop dat werknemers spoedig sal terugkeer werk toe, sodat ons bedrywighede kan hervat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
