Public sector wage talks begin

Friday 23 April 2021 - 8:27pm Public Service and Administration Minister Senzo Mchunu. GCIS JOHANNESBURG - Public sector wage negations resume on Friday, with labour unions asking for an above seven percent increase. Government negotiators are expected to respond to union demands with a revised offer. But so far the government has remained firm in its decision to freeze salaries for South Africa’s 1.3-million public servants in the 2021/22 financial year. The National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union has threatened to down tools if their demands are not met. They say they will fight to get public servants their salary increases. But the government says it simply doesn t have the money. 

Big public sector strike planned for South Africa

Big public sector strike planned for South Africa Subscribe The Public Servants Association (PSA) said it will go on a national strike if the government does not deviate from its 0%-wage increase offer for the 2021/22 financial year. The PSA is one of the largest parties at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council and represents more than 235,000 public workers. The association said that public servants should have received their salary increases with effect from 1 April 2021. “Negotiations resumed on 15 April 2021 where the employer responded to labour’s demands. The response was utterly disappointing and an insult to labour as it only responded positively to some issues, which have no direct short-term financial benefit for employees.”

Labour unions declare wage dispute with Transnet

Labour unions declare wage dispute with Transnet By Reuters Share Two unions declared a dispute with Transnet on Thursday after wage talks broke down, and warned of possible strike action if the state-owned freight logistics firm failed to present a better offer. The United National Transport Union (UNTU) and the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU) baulked at Transnet s offer of a 3% wage hike - a figure they described in a joint statement as so bad that organised labour can’t even present it to their constituents to obtain a revised mandate. Transnet, which operates major ports and a huge railway network that transports minerals and other commodities for export, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
