Strike on hold for unions to consult members

The South African Medical Association CEO, Dr Norman Mabasa, has supported the decision yesterday to suspend the public workers strike.

The national strike, which disrupted health services and hospitals, among other public services, was put on hold yesterday for unions to consult their members about a final wage agreement.

Government has offered a 7.5% pay increase and R800 housing allowance but unions have demanded an 8% increase and R1000 housing allowance.

All workers are expected to be back on duty by tomorrow, following the report backs from unions. They will not receive pay for the days they did not work.
