The South African Policing Union SAPU has rejected the government's proposed 4.7 wage offer for public services, stating that it is insufficient given the high cost of living and inflation. The union is demanding a 7.5 salary increase and plans to resume talks with the government at the Co-ordinating Bargaining Council next week.
Lesiba Thobakgale, SAPU's spokesperson, emphasized that the current offer does not meet the needs of workers and that they are preparing to push for a better deal. The union is committed to advocating for its members and ensuring that their living standards are maintained.
It's a challenging situation, but it's good to see the union standing up for its members. Do you think the government will come back with a better offer?
