Hartlief and the Namibian Food and Allied Workers Union (NAFAU) have agreed to a 5.2% increase in basic salaries, as well as increases to both housing and transport allowances for all Bargaining Unit employees.
The agreement covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 and is applicable to all Bargaining Unit employees of Hartlief Continental Meat Products.
“The session was positive and amicable, allowing us to conclude the agreement in a united fashion. This agreement is a testament to our commitment to our people, without whom Hartlief would not be the passionate, quality-delivering company that it is. All our employees help create the O&L Group Vision we are working towards, which is ‘to be a catalyst for positive change, creating new realities, and fulfilling dreams,’” said Hartlief Managing Director (MD), Gunther Ling.
Protasius Shitongeni, NAFAU Windhoek Branch Organiser, also expressed his appreciation for the cooperative deliberations between the parties.
“Firstly, I would like to thank the Hartlief Negotiation committee for negotiating in good faith. Secondly, I want to express our gratitude to all the stakeholders who made the negotiation process fruitful; we appraise them for their input,” he said.
Hartlief is a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group.
