JOHANNESBURG, June 14 (Reuters) – South Africa’s government
has broken off wage talks with 1.3 million state workers seeking
above-inflation pay increases, a union official said on
Thursday.
“The state has lost patience and terminated bargaining,”
said Chris Klopper, spokesman for the Independent Labour Caucus
federation, a state union umbrella group involved in the
negotiations.
