After a lengthy set of negotiations, a compromise has been reached with G4S Malawi over pay rises for security workers. With headline inflation running at more than 10% in January and the price of local commodities increasing rapidly, this settlement represents a good deal for Malawian security workers.



This agreement means that the minimum starting wage in G4S increases from MK 7,520.00 (U$46.42) to MK 8,652.50 (U$53,41) total package per month. The 15% increase is applied across the board to all waged staff where the union has a majority membership.



A planned strike was called off to facilitate the deal and TGLSSWU General Secretary MacDonald Chuma said; " The strike will not now take place because we have agreed an acceptable increase to workers' pay."
