Poll Results to be presented to CCMA

Posted by FactFinder
What is the best increase for you?
55% - R3000pm accross the board
45% - 13% accross the board.

Comment: The R3000 is a good choice for the Bargaining Unit, as it will mean more money in the pockets of all those who earn a basic monthly salary of less than R23 000. One wonders if those who voted for the 13%, knows that fact. It will make an IMMENSE difference to the majority of our members who earn around R10 000pm (30% increase). It is also affordable for the SABC, and it assists a little bit to close the wage gap.

The majority mandate for urgent suspensions (pending investigation) that are required with immediate effect (50% or more votes), are:
Gab Mampone (84%)
Pat Naves, Andre Weber, Dingaan Feliti (76%)
Robin Nicholson (73%)
Mvuso Mbebe (69%)
Ruben Naicker (57%)
Ron Morobe (53%)

Comrades, thank you for your votes. We know there should be a lot more people on this list, but with the above gone and replaced by honest people who will allow honest investigators to take care of the rest, we shall have at least some chance of ressurecting Our SABC.

Viva! Please try and be at the CCMA (28 Harrison Street) by 9:45am - note that as a CWU member you are an Applicant in the matter - if your line manager does not sign your special leave application (put "CCMA" under remarks, he or she better have a really good reason why.

We will accept only valid reasons like a broadcast deadline, or a matter of life and death. Managers who unreasonably refuse, will automatically become enemies of orderly collective bargaining, and will be investigated, along with the others.

    Report by Rian

    The SABC offered 8.5% (R114 million) - which is exactly the same thing they offered before.

    The unions had already on several occasions rejected anything other than 12.2%.

    More than a month ago, the CWU declared a dispute of mutual interest over the SABC's "inability to pay" (pertaining to mismanagement and having emptied the coffers for management in November/December 2008 already).

    The Acting ER GM, Andre Weber, has now (out of the blue) claimed that there is no deadlock yet. The CCMA commissioner will now apply his mind, and may well refer this dispute of fact to arbitration. It seems Mr Weber is very courageous - he has no problem in lying in order to rape the constitutional right of employees to strike.

    Because of this, we never got a chance to put our preliminary flat increase idea of R114miliion / 4000 employees = R38 000 pa each = R3200 each per month, on the table.

    The commissioner will make knows his finding on end of Business Thursday - we will feed back on Friday.

    Rian
