Trade unions in the Public Service affiliated to COSATU, FEDUSA and SAFTU have announced a national day of action set for next week Tuesday.
This will see thousands of public sector workers down tools countrywide with the main march expected to be in Tshwane. The National Day of Action comes after the government's failure to meet the demands of workers through negotiations at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council.
The workers demands include a 10% salary adjustment with the employer maintaining that it could not afford anything beyond their final offer of a 3% salary adjustment.
The impasse has already seen the Public Servants Association embarking on marches countrywide.
