Unions Sign Wage Deals With S.Africa's Eskom

South Africa's Solidarity union said on Friday that it and two other major trade unions had signed two-year wage agreements with state-run utility Eskom that will see pay rises of 8.5 percent over the next two years.

A source at the National Union of Mineworkers confirmed that it had signed up to the deal. Solidarity said the NUMSA union had also accepted the 8.5 percent offer.
