Workers question agreement signed by unions and SAPO to withdraw retrenchments
Workers at the South African Post Office are questioning the agreement signed by unions and the employers to withdraw retrenchments. They say they were not consulted on the “so-called agreement”.
The Post Office and the unions say this move is to preserve employment or limit the effects of the retrenchments. Workers employed by the South African Post Office are not happy with the new agreement that halts retrenchments. In the agreement, the parties clarified that the withdrawal is conditional to the relief offered by TERS. It says that should the TERS application be unsuccessful, the parties will revert to their current positions.
“The time we got retrenchment letters it was painful…then what comrades?,” another worker elaborates.
