Disputes over the 2022/23 financial year were finally settled recently, paving the way for the current financial year to go ahead.
JOHANNESBURG - Public service unions are close to clinching a two-year wage deal with government following tumultuous negotiations at the public service negotiating bargaining council.Talks at the bargaining council kicked off earlier this year, with calls for a 10% wage increase before some unions lowered their demands to 8%.
This will then be lumped together with an additional 3-point-3 percent pensionable salary increase. This amounts to an average of 7.5% for the 2023/24 financial year. Public service salaries for the 2024/25 financial year will be hiked by a projected CPI capped at 6.5%. The deal will only come into effect if it gets majority support from unions at the public service negotiating bargaining council.
Meanwhile, union federation Fedusa and teacher union SADTU are expected to address media on the latest developments later on Saturday.
