Transport minister Barbara Creecy has weighed in on the crisis surrounding the wage deal Prasa signed with the entitys two biggest unions recently, saying it was enforceable, despite the rail operator seeking to renege on it.
Passenger Rail Agency of SA Prasa acting CFO Brian Alexander recently wrote to United National Transport Union Untu general secretary Cobus van Vuuren, and his SA Transport and Allied Workers Union Satawu counterpart Jack Mazibuko, saying the state-owned company will potentially not be complying with the one-year 5.5 wage increase it signed with unions in July.
Both unions have threatened to take legal action.
