2009-07-27: There is hope for municipal wage settlement
SALGA believes that negotiations are the most preferred vehicle to nurture industrial action since this is a critical prerequisite for quality service delivery and development.
There has been a significant movement by SALGA from a 10,5 % to 13% offer from 01st July 2009 to 30th June 2010 in an attempt to finalise and reach a wage settlement. The response has taken into consideration that municipalities are facing complex challenges and operating within the climate of a global economic recession.
SALGA would like to express its appreciation not only to its Bargaining Council representatives but also to the Unions – SAMWU and IMATU representatives and other stakeholders for the work the done thus far. We are encouraged by the progress made and we are hopeful that the current proposal will be accepted.
We have moved with speed on this matter because of our concerns that the strike will have a negative impact on service delivery.
We look forward to resolution of this strike as soon as possible.
