YCLSA Press Statement, 24 March 2015 YCLSA supports COSATU-affiliated unions demanding a 10% wage hike The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] supports public service unions affiliated to the Congress of South African Trade Unions [COSATU] in demanding a 10% wage hike and the increase of housing allowance from R900 to R3000. We call on the employer, our government, to come with a new offer that will satisfy workers and end the negotiations before the end of the month. The 10% wage increase is justified considering that the prices of basic commodities have went up, the price of petrol is expected to go up by R2 in April and Eskom has applied to raise electricity tariffs by 25.3% from July 1. Public service workers are the hardest working employees and government needs to show its appreciation by giving worker what they want. We call on both parties to find common ground as a matter of urgency so as to avoid a strike. As the YCLSA we have confidence that COSATU will continue to fight for workers and their demands. We have faith that SADTU, NEHAWU, POPCRU, DENOSA, SAMA, SASAWU and PAWUSA are championing the interests of workers in these negotiations.
