That’s what the government and trade unions have been on for more than a year in their negotiations over salary increases for 1.3 million public servants.
Trade unions have, without any success, attempted to convince the government to reconsider its salary freeze position. Instead, the government has only sweetened its offer by offering public servants a monthly cash bonus of R978 and not an inflation-beating salary increase, which the PSA has rejected.
“The employer [the Department of Public Service and Administration] refused to deliberate on its argument orally and requested to submit arguments in writing,” said Maleka.
The reality is, and these union officials will realise when they ballot, their members are not fit to sustain a 2 month long strike, a minimum to break government's back close to local government elections. Their members would rather opt for the other route-go slows.
