South Africa: The strikes are suspended
the President of the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU), Thobile Ntole, voiced when he spoke on behalf of major public service unions at a conference press. He added that the unions had 21 days to see their base on the latest government proposal and decide whether to take the offer or not. Around 1.3 million government employees went on strike on August the 18TH to get 8.6% salary increase and a monthly stipend of 1000 rand. Last week, the government has made a new offer proposing a wage increase of 7.5%, against 7% previously, and a monthly housing allowance of 800 instead of 700 rand. The strike, more and more unpopular, has paralysed the functioning of hospitals and public schools, mainly used by poor families. The motion was accompanied by many events, some of which were studded with violence. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of South Africa denounced, last week, the negative impact of this wave of protest on the economy. The benefits that South Africa was able to withdraw from the organisation of the World Cup soccer are seriously eroded by the current actions unions, the chamber added.
