Is the #NationalMinimumWage which comes into effect on 1 January a victory or a defeat for workers? I try to answer this question in the thread below
@Cosatu @Zwelinzima1 @CyrilRamaphosa @GiladIsaacs @iValodia @Dennis_G1 @SAFTU_media
How many workers will benefit from the #NMW? According to research by @SA_NMW around *4 million workers* are earning <R20 p/h. This is a significant no. - over one third of the formal workforce. The widely quoted figure of 6,4 million isn't accurate, & reflects 2016 estimates.
Nevertheless a high proportion of workers in SA will benefit from the #NationalMinimumWage by international standards. According to the @SA_NMW the following fell below the NMW: in 16 Latin American countries most were below 15%. In the UK, 5%. Germany, 7% Malaysia, 15%.
