Welcome to Macsteel

During these terrible and trying times our hearts go out to all those affected by the COVID global pandemic.

Macsteel acknowledges the strike that took place on 28 and 29 May 2020.  We at Macsteel respect the rights of our employees and we continue to be in negotiations with them and with the Unions.  Macsteel informed staff of the emergency measures that it had decided to implement in the efforts to safeguard the sustainability of the business.  These measures included a 20% salary reduction for the months of May, June and July 2020. 

The process we have followed in implementing the 20% salary reduction has been transparent as we have consistently communicated each step of the process with our staff and entered into discussions around them.  We have applied for the Covid-19 UIF TERS, our staff will be paid the UIF support amount. We expect that this will compensate the majority of staff fully for the 20% reduction.
