Public servants, including healthcare workers on the front-line of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, are still in limbo over whether they will receive their salary increases in line with a standing wage agreement when their pay cheques come in on Wednesday.
While the Public Servants Association of SA has reserved its rights if the original 2018 agreement is not implemented, and union federation Cosatu public-sector unions have declared a formal dispute at the, the unions say are still none the wiser as to what will be paid to their members come April 15, as the increases would have been implemented from April 1.
The PSA said Mchunu has been asked to confirm that all public servants would receive their increases on April 15, but has failed to do so. The matter is further complicated by the national lockdown, but Maluleke said the matter is very urgent and the bargaining council should call a special sitting, which can be held via digital platforms so that arguments dealing with the dispute can be made.
