PSA plans to institute contempt of court proceedings against SASSA after negotiations break down
19 July 2018
The Public Servants Association (PSA) has announced its decision to proceed with a contempt of court application against the minister of social development, following an apparent breakdown in negotiations.
The PSA alleges that South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) failed to table a counter offer to the PSA’s demands, which includes a single-term contract and a salary increase of between 13% and 15%.
"The PSA consulted with its legal team and it was decided to proceed with an urgent contempt of court application against the minister of social development," PSA deputy general manager Tahir Maepa said.
"The PSA has approached the Labour Court for a date for the matter to be heard as soon as possible."
