READER LETTER | Civil servants face many battles ahead
This agreement was debated and consciously signed by all role players at the bargaining council. The state, as the employer, understood that by signing this agreement there were going to be financial implications.
This is a bad precedent set by the employer because nothing will prevent the state from approaching the courts every time there’s a dispute about salaries. The state as the biggest employer must avoid applying divide and rule tactics or divide society. But what are the lessons learnt from this ruling? In my view, the three-year term agreement must be done away with, the bargaining councils need to be respected and strengthened and the state must do everything in its power to support bargaining councils.
