The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union has welcomed the continued commitment to post-schooling and training, which together with employment, labour affairs and social security funds secure the fastest growth in spending by function.
Numsa was responding to Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene medium-term budget
speech.
However the
union has expressed its concern regarding the public wage bill.
Numsa
Spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said they are concerned about the compensation of
employees is forecasted at 6.6% considering that our members have demanded 16%
salary adjustment for this year.
Pamla said
that statement that the treasury is freezing some of the vacancies. We think
that this is ill advised because we have not recovered from the mass
retrenchments of the year.
