SARS hopes to avert looming strike by staff
CAPE TOWN - 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 a 11.4 percent 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 seven percent which amounts to [Consumer Price Index] CPI plus three percent 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.
