Measures are apparently being put in place to counteract disruptions to services and to allow for continued service.
The South African Revenue Service on Friday said it was hoping unions would return to the negotiating table in a bid to avert strike action planned for next week following a collapse of wage talks.
The PSA, which represents almost half of the workforce at Sars, is demanding an 11.4% salary increase, a single-term agreement and pay progression, among others.“Despite the CCMA [Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration] certificate of non-resolution, Sars is hopeful that organised labour will reconsider the employer’s offer of 7% which amounts to [Consumer Price Index] CPI plus 3% based on the published inflation rate.
However, PSA general manager Ivan Fredericks said the unions would not allow the mismanagement of public funds to lead to a reduction in its members’ benefits.
