The SA Post Office could eliminate 40% of staff salaries through a reduced work week programme, according to the DA spokesperson on communications, Dianne Kohler Barnard.Kohler Barnard said that the scheme amounts to"nothing more nor less than constructive dismissal", but the Post Office says it is trying to avoid forced retrenchments.
"These measures are aimed at cutting employment costs, while saving some jobs – effectively a job-sharing model; while at the same time delaying a process of forced retrenchments," he said.This comes after the Democratic Alliance spokesperson on communications, Dianne Kohler Barnard, said in a statement on Wednesday morning that staff salaries at SAPO could be slashed by as much as 40% through the scheme.
Kohler Barnard says that this move is an attempt to cut costs, which amounts to"nothing more nor less than constructive dismissal". In addition to this he flagged concerns for workers, who he claims have not received a pay increase for a period of around four years and who have seen other benefits cut, such as medical aid.
