Minister of Public Service and Administration Senzo Mchunu on Tuesday said government remained committed to the wage agreement it arrived at with public service unions in 2018, despite the trifecta of challenges facing the economy.
“Accordingly, we want to reiterate that government remains committed to the implementation of the 2018 wage agreement notwithstanding the aforesaid difficulties, at stake is how to do it, and this matters most,” said the minister. According to Nehawu, “the statement by Mchunu suggests that government cannot honour the agreement because of the following reasons; the outbreak of the coronavirus; the downgrading of South Africa’s credit rating to junk status by the credit rating agency Moody’s and the recession”.
“The case of the first person who tested positive with the coronavirus was announced by the minister of health on March 5 and the downgrade by Moody’s only took place on March 27. The union added that “every excuse that government was trying to use to justify reneging on the implementation of the agreement happened way after they made their intention to opt-out of the agreement”.
The union made it clear that any offer made by government below the 2018 wage agreement “was rejected outrightly by all unions the bargaining council”.
Hope U r Fine BRA SENZO. U make me Love The ANC.
