IMATU SIGNS LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE CHARTER

IMATU, together with the other parties to the South African Local Government Bargaining Council (SALGBC), have signed the Local Government Service Charter today in Sandton.

The parties recently completed negotiations on the Local Government Service Charter, a document that was tabled during wage negotiations last year.

This document is a pledge that sets out the standards of service delivery for all members of the SALGBC. The Local Government Service Charter seeks to improve service delivery programmes, clarify the rights and obligations of each party, professionalise the sector, reward excellence, facilitate social dialogue, combat corruption and ensure effective, efficient and responsive municipalities.
