South Africa's public-sector unions are expected to resume wage talks on Monday.
This comes against the backdrop of protracted negotiations with the government over the public sector wage agreement.
The unions are demanding that the government honours its three-year wage agreement of 8%.
The meeting will consolidate demands from affiliates of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) and the Federation of Unions of South Africa (Fedusa).
South African Democratic Teachersâ Union (Sadtu) general secretary, Mugwena Maluleke, says the unions will need to draw up demands they can all agree on before approaching the Public Service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC).
