JOHANNESBURG - Eyewitness News has reliably learnt that three trade union federations are set to level up in their fight for increased wages with another national strike.The sector is calling for double digit wage increases, despite government’s refusal to back down from its offer of 3%.
This comes as the protracted dispute over wages between civil servants and government has backed unions into a corner. The Public Servants Association and the Health & Other Services Personnel Trade Union of South Africa led the first leg of strike action last Thursday after another round of negotiations had deadlocked.
