SA Post Office plans to cut its headcount by more than 4 000.
Retrenched Post Office workers say they’ve been let down by the entity, government, as well as their union representatives. The workers are demanding that all the retrenchment packages due to them be paid in full.
The Post Office had been in provisional liquidation in the run-up to the court ruling. Initially, the Post Office planned to retrench 6 000 workers from a staff complement of 11 083. “Take us back to our jobs, those who want to and those of us who don’t want to, we want all our monies as in all our monies not something that you will dictate on how we get our monies, we want our lump sum,” a retrenched worker says.
Another issue that these workers want to be addressed, is that of their outstanding pension fund contributions. Workers say they were shocked to discover that the Post Office last made payments to their pension fund in April 2020. This was after the workers inquired about their contributions with their pension fund administrator, Sanlam.
