EWN reports that the National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS) has asked for an urgent meeting with unions to thrash out a deal to end the current strike that commenced on Wednesday.
The employer has proposed a timeline around how and when labour-related agreements would be implemented, which is what led to the strike. There has moreover been agreement on a 7.3% salary hike. The NHLS acting CEO Shabir Madhi said they would be meeting with union leaders on Thursday afternoon. He stated: “The timeline for this is really what’s in dispute, both agreements were actually signed previously but there weren't any specific timeline that was stipulated in the previous agreement.”
