8.5% is NOT YET 10% Offer

Posted by Rian
The SABC's flagship program, Morning Live, this morning announced that an offer of 10% has now been made to unions.

Apparently this is not so - the delegates fed back to us that no such offer was made. "Management" said they still have to "go look" for the extra 1.5%.

This begs the question: What if management does "find" the extra 1.5%?

It is becoming increasingly interesting - if not mildly amusing - to observe how management magically "finds" extra money - every few days. We would have smiled if it was not so sad.

Just 34 days ago, this same management looked us straight in the eye and claimed that after much searching, they ONLY have between 6 and 7% left to give us as a salary increase.

Where did they misplace it? In the ceiling? Under their beds? Swiss account?

They, our beloved managers, are however no longer capable of surprising us.

Should we now thank management for looting "only" 2.2% out of our salary account, instead of the 3.7% they were planning to loot a week ago? Or the 5.2% they wanted to loot 2 weeks ago?

We believe they should loot nothing. We believe they should bring back everything they have looted, pay us what they legally owe us, and then leave.

As always, our position is one of Good Labour Relations

    Comrade Rian

    We are not sure why the Morning Live team spread this nonsense. Please be aware that Gab Mampone has said he must go to the Shareholder (minister) to ask for the rest of the money.

    He should ask for all the money, straight after he has explained what he and his colleagues did with the money they had last year, when they paid themselves profit sharing bonusses.
