JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa’s Public Servants Association said on Thursday it would go to the constitutional court to challenge last month’s ruling in favour of the government over public sector wage increases.
The inflation-linked increases were agreed as part of a three-year wage deal struck in 2018 and were due to come into force in April 2020.
But the government did not pay them, saying they were unaffordable amid the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Labour Appeal Court said last month it would be unlawful for trade unions to enforce the wage increases because it would contravene parts of the constitution and public service regulations.
