Samwu rejects facilitator’s proposal in municipal wage talks

If one of the parties rejects the facilitator’s proposal, negotiations move to a process of conciliation, which has two options.

The first is arbitration, and the other is the issuing of a certificate of non-resolution of the dispute, which means unions are at liberty to go on strike.She also proposed a 4% salary increase in the first year of the agreement and projected CPI minus 1% increase in the outer years of the agreement.

She proposed a total freeze on all benefits to municipal workers in the first year of the agreement and said these will be fully unfrozen in the last year of the agreement. Samwu, on the other hand, had demanded a one-year wage increase of R4,000 per month, a R3,500 housing agreement, an 80% employer medical aid contribution, six months’ paid maternity leave and one month paid paternity leave.Sivuyile Mbambato, spokesperson for Salga said the association was preparing for an extended round of negotiations set for July 1.

“We have, over the past few days, been engaging and consulting with municipalities in all provinces on what they think about the facilitator’s proposal,” Mbambato said.“We will present our offer in the bargaining council in the next round of negotiations,” Mbambato said on Tuesday.​
