Johannesburg - The
Public Servants Association (PSA) said its members were back at
work on Monday while they were considering a response to government's
latest wage offer.
"The PSA is not going on a strike today (Monday). We called our members back to consult with them," said PSA Cape Town manager Koos Kruger.
Kruger said the union was considering ways to co-ordinate its possible labour actions with unions aligned with the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu).
If a wage resolution was not reached, the PSA might go on strike by Friday or early next week.
Public servants were demanding an 8.6% salary increase and a housing subsidy of R1 000, backdated to April 1.
The government was offering a 6.5% salary increase and a R620 housing subsidy with effect from July 1.
