Union says it will intensify Sars strike as tax agency prepares to release preliminary revenue collection data for 2018/2019
SA Revenue Service employees are expected to continue with their strike on Monday. The third day of the strike coincides with the release of the preliminary results of revenue collection for 2018/2019, with expected revenue revised downwards during finance minister Tito Mboweni’s 2019 budget address.
The unions demanded, among other benefits, an 11.4% increase for a one-year term, but would be willing to take an 8% offer for that term to members. Nehawu added that it was “in the best interest of the employer to ensure the speedily resolution of the current impasse”.It was unclear whether the PSA would embark on strike action with Nehawu on Monday.
