Salary Negotiations Update 24 July 2008

We have accepted and signed an agreement with the SABC for the 11.5% increase only. BEMAWU will enter into discussions about the multi-term with the SABC soon. We will also discuss the issue where the SABC seeks to exclude members of BEMAWU above scale 300 from the annual salary increase (a principle the other two unions agreed to and signed that their members above scale 300 must be excluded). We do not believe it is fair.
