The Tanning wage negotiation took place on 14 and 15 May. “The parties were unable to reach agreement after 2 rounds of wage negotiations,” Gerald Naidoo, general secretary of the National Bargaining Council of the Leather Industry of SA, said on Friday. “The parties agreed to meet again on 10 June as an attempt to reach agreement and should no agreement be reached then the matter will be a conciliation by a CCMA commissioner.”

Footwear negotiations resume this week.
