Comrade Dumisani, i thought that we are familiar with processes in the bargaining process. but to remind comrades, we were witnessing strikes by doctors throughout the country until now in july. in the bargaining process, it will be difficult for the representatives of cosatu to alienate salary increment for non striking workers while the resolution that you want to implement include those who are on strike. also in the employer's side, they will be raising the matter of administering salary increment for each employee one by one, and i believe that you know how difficult that will be. the process in handled in the best interest of workers and also in the best interest of our community (like to fight for the expelled doctors to be reinstated). the process is at a final stage where cents are been counted and in due course we will get results. Amandla wonder

Does that indicate that they do have the interest of the workers at heart or is it deliberate cause whilst they are engaging in deliberations which one don't even know when will they end, the poor public servants are struggling very hard and the global economic crisis is heating hard at us. It is very disturbing even on the issue of servicing of the membership by leadership, my heart get broken when I see how many people join the PSA cause they claim that their grievances are resolved very fast as compared to the Cosatu aligned unions and the PSA is using this advantage to poach members to join them. I think its high time that our Cosatu aligned unions should do an analysis of membership and draw programmes that will engage members to stay with us. I was very happy by the resolution taken in the Free State Cosatu congress, where they acknowledge that they have lost members and they will develop a plan to mobilize members to join Cosatu affiliates but also to ensure they retain the current membership.
