The three week national civil servants strike that has brought the public sector into its knees could be over on Sunday as unions may be willing to settle on a wage demand.
Thus Far, Cosatu has rejected government’s previous wage offer of 5.4%, 5.5%, 6.0%, 6.5%, 7.0%, 7.25% and 7.25%, but the union is willing negotiate on the latest offer of 7.5%.
Cosatu spokesperson Patrick Craven confirms that the unions are waiting for government’s last proposal which includes 7.5% wage increase.
Craven added that the decision will be taken among Cosatu members if they take the offer or not.
