24 August 2010

The Government has finally responded to the unions and has increased its wage offer.

Governments initial wage offer was a 7 percent and now its wage offer is standing at 8.5 percent, which is an additional 1.5 percent.

Government have increased the offer in order to end the public sector strike.

Government spokesperson Themba Maseko says that governments wage offer and the unions wage demand difference is now standing at 0.1 percent, and urges public sector unions to sign with immediate effect.

On the other hand Nehawu has rejected government’s latest wage offer.

The union has stated that the government is trying to confuse the public and the workers. Nehawu is still set on an 8.6 percent salary increase and a one thousand rand housing allowance.
