The Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of SA (Seifsa) is pressing ahead with plans to hold a major indaba next year, as the metals and engineering sectors face a week that may provide some answers about the future of SA’s largest private sector bargaining council.

There are almost 11,000 companies and 300,000 employees represented within the Metals and Engineering Industries Bargaining Council. But the council has been prevented from extending a wage agreement sealed in July, which came after four weeks of damaging strike action and a collapse of collective bargaining in the sector could have far reaching repercussions.

The National Employers Association of SA (Neasa) returns to court on Tuesday in a bid to annul a wage agreement signed between Seifsa and six unions in July the same time as the government starts a major labour indaba to discuss the state of industrial relations.
