EWN reports that the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) has filed court papers against the African National Congress (ANC) on behalf of its unpaid members, demanding that their salaries be processed by the party immediately.
The union has accused the ANC of deliberately failing to honour its contractual obligations since October last year. It has also labelled this period as sad and traumatic for workers due to the ANC’s inability to pay salaries on time, its non-contribution to the provident and Unemployment Insurance Funds (UIF) and the absence of salary increments over the past three years. Nehawu has moreover slammed the ANC and its president, Cyril Ramaphosa, for consistently making commitments to resolve the situation publicly while not making any efforts internally. Nehawu spokesperson Lwazi Nkolonzi stated: "They've undermined their dignity by not paying them their salaries. They say one thing and then they do another thing. Promises have been made that they're going to sort out the issue of salary payment and yet they've not done that."
