Organised labour
Over the past few years, the group has experienced significant structural
optimisation and transformation.
We continue to maintain positive relationships with organised labour.
While we have processes in place to ensure open and effective
communications with unions, we recognise that building and maintaining
trust requires constant attention. The group lost 34 days to industrial
action during the year (2016: 15 days). This was primarily due to salary
negotiations that were ultimately resolved.
The rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining were
upheld across the group. The following significant labour-related
agreements were concluded:
> collaborative partnership agreements with two recognised unions
addressing principles around performance pay, retrenchments and
outsourcing
> engagement framework agreement with two recognised unions that
outlines the strategic engagement platform at whichTelkomwill brief,
interact and update the recognised union leadership on all group and
business unit progress, initiatives, changes and strategic direction
> the full-time shop steward agreement was replaced
