Minister Gungubele calls on all parties to find an amicable resolution to the SITA salary negotiations dispute
The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies has been alerted by SITA of the deadlock with negotiations and the subsequent protest action. The Department acknowledges the rights of employees to embark on such action.
Although the Department has noted calls for the Minister to intervene, it is important to note that this is a labour matter between the PSA representing the employees and SITA as employer, where the Department cannot interfere. Minister Gungubele is however calling upon both parties to find a speedy and amicable resolution to ensure that service delivery is not negatively affected.
The Department has been assured by SITA that plans are in place to ensure that key operations of the Agency will be protected from any negative impact by this protest action.
