Public sector workers vow nationwide shutdown over pay

JOHANNESBURG - Unions representing thousands of public servants will be taking part in a nationwide strike on Tuesday.

There's been a deadlock on wage talks with the government, and the PSA say they have no choice but to go to the streets.

The unions want a double-digit pay increase, while government is pleading poverty.
