'No pay, no leave' - govt warns civil servants who want to take part in Wednesday's stayaway

Sending a letter is going to help when 70% of a company's white-collar workforce, strikes. Yes.

Same experience. I'm asking since it does seem like ZA companies are confident that this is never going to be a situation to consider.

Here's hoping that the BCM team doesn't join such a strike. Or the Cybersecurity team. Or the Network Infrastructure team. Or the Cloud geeks.

I never said its going to necessarily help, but its the option that is open to the company, and one that they actually have to do anyway.

There was an attempt at a IT union years ago ( early 2000's ). Fell flat.

Is that "white-collar"?

Is that "white-collar"?

Yes. Salaried employees etc.

White-collar workers are often found in office settings. As the name implies, they are generally suit-and-tie workers who wear white-collared shirts. Their jobs may involve working at a desk in clerical, administrative, or management settings. Unlike blue-collar workers, white-collar workers don't have physically taxing jobs.


The following are examples of white-collar workers:

• An administrative assistant in an office
• A data entry clerk
• The manager of a marketing department

Yes. Salaried employees etc.

Pretty much... those of us who are too dependant on someone elses money to keep a roof over our heads and the banks at bay

Is it legal to dox pay from people who have have available leave-days, who takes a day-leave today?

Who's business is it whether they binge on streaming or participate in the strike/stay-away action?

What will business do when the corporate-types catch a wake-up and en-masse apply for a day's leave? Will they also pull a government?

It is legal because it's been passed by chambers. So employer and unions agreed to it in the public sector. If you as an individual disagree too bad. You have to follow what's agreed upon by pscbc.

70% of the staff cannot take the day of. The departments require SOP for granting of all kinds of leave. If that happens the managers have the right to revoke your leave and bring you back to work. At least that's how it works in essential services.

If 70% of the staff on duty get up and walk out its classified as illegal strike action and subject to disciplinary hearings. Which again agreed upon has to be handled internally and no external forces may be applied to the situation like a lawyer ect.

So if you receive an unfavorable verdict then you have to take it to a court of law. Where in this case you will definitely lose as it would be considered an illegal strike and is not allowed as agreed upon by chambers
