The PSA and Nehawu, which represent the majority of the nearly 13,000-strong workforce at Sars, to restart industrial action after a meeting with management failed to reach agreement
The PSA and Nehawu to restart industrial action after a meeting with management failed to reach agreement in JuneThe strike action by the two largest unions at the SA Revenue Service , which is set to resume from Tuesday, could affect tax collection at the agency which reported a surplus of R16.7bn in April, taking tax collection to R1.563-trillion during the 2021/2022 financial year.
The continuation of the strike action from Tuesday comes after Sars opened the tax collection season on July 1. Undercollection of tax due to industrial action could hurt an economy dogged by prolonged bouts of load-shedding and that is still trying to recover from Covid-19, the July 2021 unrest and recent flooding that hit three provinces.
The PSA and Nehawu downed tools on May 26 demanding increases of 11.5% and 12% respectively, above the 5.9% headline inflation forecast by the Reserve Bank for 2022. In a statement on Monday, Nehawu general secretary Zola Saphetha said the union held a national meeting on Friday to chart a way forward regarding the wage deadlock.
