The matter will be heard tomorrow at the Labour Court in Johannesburg.
Anton van der Bijl, the head of legal affairs at Solidarity, said deductions such as contributions to medical funds still appeared on the salary slips of the employees but the post office had failed to pay the contributions on behalf of its employees to the various funds.“This mismanagement means that thousands of innocent workers may lose their medical cover and will thus not be able to receive the medical care they need.
“If the post office does not meet its obligations, these people will not receive their medication in October. We cannot allow our members to suffer due to the state’s mismanagement, and we have resorted to the court on an urgent basis to force Sapo to fulfil its statutory obligations.”
