The National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) says it has not agreed to the latest offer by the SA Revenue Service (Sars) as it is still consulting its members.
On Tuesday, workers affiliated to the Public Servants Association returned to work as the union accepted the revenue service’s offer of an 8% salary hike for the next 12 months and 2% above the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the next two years.
But Nehawu’s national spokesperson, Khaya Xaba, said the union could not sign anything until every one of its members was consulted.
“We are a worker-led union, which means that we have to get a mandate from workers. That entails a through process, which means that we must speak to each and every member and ensure that the voices of workers are heard. We should hear something by later today.”
Xaba said the union would make a decision soon. – ANA
