South Africa's state-owned electricity producer Eskom has reached a wage hike agreement with power plant workers, ending a two-day strike that could have caused supply disruptions, their union said Friday.
The company conceded to the workers' demand for a 8.5 percent increase for highest paid employees and a 10 percent raise for those in the lower income bracket. Eskom generates about 95 percent of the electricity used in South Africa and exports some power to neighbouring countries.
