| STRIKE ACTION:PARTICIPATION OF MEMBERS IN TERMS OF THE FST AGREEMENT (3/5) |
|
|
|
Please be advised that members falling under the scope of the FST Agreement i.e. First Line Managers Specialists and Technicians are deemed to be employees resorting under the scope of the Transnet Bargaining Council as “Bargaining Unit Employees. Clause 7.1 of the Agreement is quoted below:-
“The Grade Structure for Bargaining Unit Employees consists of six (6) Levels from Levels G (See Annexure B and C). First Line Managers, Specialists and Technicians are categorised into Level G”. Annexure “B”: All FST’s are still and will remain part of the Transnet Bargaining Council and therefore have the same “Right” to participate in Industrial Action (Strike Action) as all other Categories of Employees deemed to fall under the Scope of the Transnet Bargaining Council. UTATU will thus appreciate their support in the strike as they also form part of the Current Wage Negotiation. It is our request that their members should not let themselves be intimidated by “Management”. We trust that this clarifies all the confusion for the members. UTATU Greetings
