At least 200 SABC workers picketed outside the public broadcaster’s
offices in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, yesterday demanding a pay
increase, writes Sally Evans in The Times.
Members of the three major unions  the Broadcast, Electronic, Media and Allied Workers’ Union, the Media Workers’ Association of SA and the Communication Workers’ Union  were in talks with SABC management yesterday afternoon after unions refused to accept the 8.5percent offer that the public broadcaster put on the table.
Unions are demanding a 12.2percent pay rise .
Communication Workers’ Union general secretary Gallant Roberts said earlier that if parties failed to reach an agreement soon, workers would embark on a bigger march on July 14.
