Media Release: Wage dispute resolved at SANParks
19 September 2019
South African National Parks (SANParks) today announced that a dispute around wages and conditions of employment declared by three unions representing workers in the Collective Bargaining Council has been resolved.
This according to Rey Thakhuli, SANParks Acting Head of Communications who said, SANParks and the labour unions settled the dispute early last night, and the parties have immediately formalised the agreement reached.
Thakhuli said in a meeting that was convened on Wednesday 18 September 2019 with the majority of unions Health and Other Service Personnel Trade Union (HOSPERSA) and National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers Union (NUPSAW) a collective agreement was concluded and signed. “The details of the signed deal mean that workers will get an 8% salary adjustment and improved benefits.”
He said the signing brings to end speculation around any intended protracted strike and planned protests action which was due to happen on Friday, 20 September 2019. The unions and SANParks will be communicating the finer details to employees internally.
The Chief Executive Officer of SANParks, Fundisile Mketeni congratulated the negotiating teams on the signing of the agreement saying… “We are happy that the deal has been accepted by the majority unions, it shows that the welfare of workers was put first, as an employer we tabled a fair and balanced offer that will not put jobs in jeopardy and will help the organisation to continue with its conservation mandate.”
“We want to also encourage those intending to visit our parks, we are open for business, come and enjoy your natural heritage. We are looking forward to working with the unions into the future for the betterment of our people and the organisation” concluded Mketeni.

Re: Strikes at SANParks
Wildly above inflation, and beyond what SANParks can afford...
What are the "improved benefits"?
What happened to the dispute about missing overtime on Sundays?

Re: Strikes at SANParks
Do you know when they got the last salary raise? If not it is not possible to judge if it is fair or not.
If the law admits Sundays and overtime payment, why should they not ask for it?
