SAPO in crisis as workers march for salary increases and unpaid dues

About 60 workers, under the Communication Workers Union (CWU), marched to Parliament in Cape Town on Thursday, demanding that their medical aid and pension fund contributions be paid.

The Post Office is facing financial woes. In some cases, these contributions have not been made for years, according to the Post Office’s own estimates.

Terrible.

These the same workers who striked the PO into total irrelevance after their prolonged strike a few years ago??

60, damn...

Pity they didnt 'march' and unify to get the post and parcels out in the first place...

Hard times for their workers. But I am caught between "they brought this on themselves"and "let this company go to its demise already".

I wonder what would happen should the post office collapse and close completely. The legal system still depends on the post office's registered mail.

What a great success story to be told by the anc amongst all the others..........ViVa

I don't think they brought this on themselves, they should be paid for their work at the very minimum.
