South32 coal miners have rejected a pay offer of up to 20 per cent over four years as they push for inflation-level wage growth and a greater share of profits.
South32’s proposal included an increase of 5 per cent for the first year followed by increases of 4 per cent, 3 per cent and 4 per cent in the remaining years, with CPI guarantees capped at 5 per cent. Workers would have also received a sign-on bonus.
“Our members at Appin are negotiating a new enterprise agreement in a context of high inflation and booming coal prices,” he said. A spokesman for South32 said, “It is disappointing that some of our people have chosen this course of action, especially given we have made a particularly strong offer.
