Understanding the economic environment shaping the next bargaining round
As preparations begin for the 2027 collective bargaining process, employers are increasingly asking what economic conditions are likely to shape the negotiations and what they should be planning for now.
Join us for an insightful webinar presented by Tafadzwa (Taffie) Chibanguza and Lucio Trentini, who will provide an overview of the economic and industrial landscape ahead of the 2027 wage negotiations.
The webinar will place the forthcoming negotiations within the broader macroeconomic context, examining the key domestic and global factors influencing the operating environment for employers in the metals and engineering industry.
Topics to be covered include:
- The current state and outlook of the South African economy.
- Global economic developments and their implications for industry.
- The performance and outlook of the metals and engineering sector.
- Labour market trends and the broader industrial relations environment.
- Key considerations and expectations for the 2027 collective bargaining process.
- Interactive questions and discussion.
This session is designed to provide employers with practical insights that will assist in understanding the environment within which the next wage negotiations will take place and to begin thinking strategically about the issues likely to shape the bargaining process.
