A final ultimatum was handed to post office workers, but does this mean anything?

No.

If they are handing out a final ultimatum they're doing it wrong. An ultimatum by definition is: "A final demand or statement of terms, the rejection of which will result in retaliation or a breakdown in relations."

Key word being final.
 
Have to love this... they are striking because many of them were scammed by a private individual/s when they were falsely informed that SAPOS had a pension fund surplus. They paid the scammers to 'join' them in an existing court case to claim the supposed surplus.

SAPOS warned them that it was a scam but they would not listen. Now they demand that SAPOS must reimburse them the money scammed from them.

TIA.
 
They were each promised something like 200mill. Who in their right state of mind would fall for that?

I have so many packages not being delivered and i SINCERELY hope they get fired

****! I thought the 8billion they were demanding was a mistake!!! Jesus, I have a parcel waiting with these idiots for 14 days now. If that's what they're demanding then I'm screwed, I wonder if I should ask amazon to re-ship to my home address and re-claim the other parcel when the strike ends. If ever.
 
I wonder if this applies...

I think this applies, but I wonder if a strike would overrule a criminal offence - I somehow doubt it.

Now, if someone here would have the balls to go to a police station and open a criminal charge against the postal workers and get the media to fuel it - so the docket don't disappear - this would be very interesting to see...

who is this individual that scammed them?
 
Hi guys

I am willing to press charges against these people, but I need more people, who is also willing to provide affidavits it terms of them also being impacted by the conduct of the strikers.

If you are willing, please PM me and let me know.

Will probably never be named... here is the 'official' mention: http://www.citizen.co.za/citizen/co...etail&pid=334&Strike-disrupts-postal-services

It is believed the stayaway has been sparked by rumours Sapo owes employees money.

“It is unfortunate that we have interruptions based on rumours that there are billions of rands due to employees, and that there will be unlawful deductions.

“When we (SAPOS) checked at the High Court, the initial presentation was withdrawn as the case had no merits,” he said.

I am sure anyone who are sending and waiting for parcels can.

Since the 12th of Feb all parcels & post got stuck where they are. No movements. Those who could still find theirs at their post office can get it back, but will lose their money they paid.

here's what i find on this topic.


Post Office scam exposed

THE South African Post Office Group (Sapo) has pressed criminal charges against a group of employees who allegedly misled other employees.

Sowetan understands that a large number of Sapo employees in Gauteng have since June last year been duped into believing that a court case had been won against the parastatal that required the company to pay out pension money owed to employees.

This has led certain Sapo employees to embark on an illegal strike, while mail delivery in SA's biggest mail delivery centres was affected.

Sapo chief executive Chris Hlekane told Sowetan that an investigation revealed that the court case being cited was related to a divorce matter.

A union leader, who declined to be quoted for fear of victimisation, said unions in the post office were not part of the strike because they knew it was a scam.

Hlekane said "We referred the matter to the police."





people are so gullible.

no you wont lose your money, you can apply for a refund, takes about a month.
 
I used to work for the administrator to the PO Retirement Fund. We received Surplus queries on a daily basis. These people do not want to hear that the Surplus has not been confirmed. We were threatened with legal action but nothing and no one ever actually did anything.
