Collective Bargaining – The 2024 National Wage Negotiations for the MEIBC & BCCEI Addressing the upcoming wage negotiations within the MEIBC and the BCCEI. Reflecting on 2022, members of the Metal and Engineering Industries Bargaining Council (MEIBC) undoubtedly recall a momentous juncture that reshaped the landscape for Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs).
