They used to be. Now they are employees in an over populated organisation whose major expense is salaries and not conservation

All permanent employees also receive monthly housing subsidies, medical aid contributions and pension fund contributions from the state, as well as a full month's untaxed salary in one's birthday month as a bonus.

Re: Strikes at SANParks
The following is only my personal perception: I have the impression that the wages for a long time have been far too low. If we do not know the actual amount of the wages it is difficult to judge if the raises are fair or not. There is also the point of housing and meals.

Re: Strikes at SANParks
As Peter and Harry say, in the private sector increases and benefits are not guaranteed and generally lower, and bonuses may or may not be paid.

Re: Strikes at SANParks
Obviously sometimes, and sometimes not. But raises will generally not be more than inflation, if at all.
