The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) says it will mobilise its workers to shut down the South African Revenue Services (SARS) after wage negotiations hit an impasse.
In messages circulated on social media, Nehawu said the shutdown will commence on Tuesday after rejecting a proposed wage increase of 1.39%.
The national union will mobilise for a re-commencement of the full-blown strike across all SARS workplaces to take the fight to the intransigent employer.“SARS has left us with no option other than to mobilise our mass power and take our battle to the streets. This is the only power that we have as workers in fighting unfair conditions of work. We have been negotiating in good faith and with much patience.
The Public Servants Association said that it is of the view that strike action is the only action that will force SARS to take workers seriously – likening the planned strike action to the recent strikes at Eskom, which left the power grid crippled.
