The Public Servants Association and the SA Policing Union have declared a dispute with the government at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council .
”The failure by the government to pay nurses and other public servants their wage increases last year and the intransigent attitude they have adopted towards the current public service wage negotiations is regrettable and insulting, especially for the nurses that serve as front-line workers waging a war against a deadly disease,” Cosatu said in a statement.
A deadlock was declared on April 23, but the employer requested a special PSCBC meeting to appoint an independent facilitator, which the PSA objected to. Government employees are unhappy that they have not received salary increases for two consecutive years, which places an enormous financial constraint on their livelihoods.
If salary dispute was to favor public servants, kleptocrats will have nothing to deal among themselves
