Johannesburg - Public sector unions affiliated to South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) have vowed to shut down the country after rejecting a 1.5% the employer has offered them.
Picketing and speaking outside the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) offices in Centurion where the conciliation is taking place inside, unions said they are demanding nothing less than a 7% salary increase.
South African Police Union (Sapu) national spokesperson Lesiba Thobakgale said they are at the bargaining council because Sapu has lodged a dispute concerning the current wage negotiations of 2021 at the council.
