Sandu demands overtime payment

Johannesburg - The SA National Defence Union (Sandu) wants the defence department to pay overtime to members of the presidential medical unit, spokesperson Pikkie Greeff said on Monday.

"We are writing a letter of demand through our attorneys today [Monday] demanding that the department must pay the overtime due to our members. If there is no response in 30 days we will issue summons," he said.

Members of the presidential medical unit had not been paid overtime for over a year.

"They have been promised payment on several occasions, this cannot go on like this," he said.

Defence spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the department would comment on the matter later on Monday.
