On 1 April 2009, the "multi term agreement" gave SABC employees a 12.2% increase.
On 28 May 2009, SABC requested organised labour to consider a reduction in salary of 5.2%.
In light thereof that the 12.2% does not reflect in the bank accounts, nor salary slips of employees, the following final mandates were given to union leaders:
1. That the 12.2% debt (outstanding since 1 April) be immediatly paid, with interest.
2. That all Exco members (who took money belonging to employees as bonusses), along with Internal Audit managers, who neglected to report this to board, resign with immediate effect.
Management refused to accept these terms, and a deadlock was reached.
This means that the dispute declared on 16 May 2009, still stands.
Mediation is scheduled for the 15th of June, and if that fails (very likely, as we have no mandate to compromise), members will be ballotted as to the way forward - noting that any industrial action will then be protected by law.
All talks with management is now in the CCMA - no more meetings will be internally entertained.
Our position is always one of Good Labour Relations

Can Cde Rian expect a fair hearing from these SABC managers?
By refusing to see our value, the SABC negotiators are:
Who currently keeps the SABC on air?
SEF has convinced Jane Duncan (freedom of expression champion) to accept our nomination, only if it comes from us
The counter proposal is:
Should CWU/MWASA refer the "agreement" signed by "SMS ballot" to CCMA for adjudication?
The letter to SABC Board is hereby:
Who can save the SABC?
What is the main reason you will strike?

It is so sad when money is stolen from poor people, then the thieves get away with a mere "resignation". They must be criminally charged for fraud, and go to jail.
ReplyDeleteWell done to our leaders for finally voicing our demands correctly!
ReplyDeleteMy last union always got it wrong!
CCMA- does it mean we must strike?
I'm ready!
Does it mean we should be ready to strike on the 16th? Or do we meet on the 16th to call a ballot? How does it work?
ReplyDeleteThe CWU leaders have requested calm. Should the CCMA mediation fail, the union leadership will call a ballot on the way forward on the 16th.
ReplyDeleteNote that one should not strike over a percentage, but certainly over interests like having a clean administration.
The CWU leaders have requested that all information on frudulent spending be provided to Shop Stewards.

Thank you for your patients comrades. While our leaders are fighting for what is rightfully ours, we have been waiting serenely, and patiently to hear word from them as to what is currently happening. the 15th June is a week or so away and we need to hang in there as we did since 1st April. I salute you all.
ReplyDeleteAs we speak comrades, money is still be squandered, wasted etc etc. Can anyone tell me if the Robin Nicholson's of this organization still get retention bonuses.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know ff Pearl Luthuli returned the R500.00 awarded to her for taking a three month sabbatical.
