Cosatu acting spokesperson Matthew Parks toc said that Cosatu was deeply disappointed that the Cormmission for Concilation, Mediation and Arbitration $($CCMA$)$ had turned down the proposed UIF TERS relief for the Sope$-$

$"$We cannot afford to see any worker lose their job," he said.

"The Deparment of Communications and Digital Technologies had also offered to sssist with finding. placement positions for staff affer their upskilling" $"$

Bropialsaid the funding could have asssted employees while the business was stabilising and in due. course growing In time, potential positiona could have been made available to affected staft at the Post. Office.

This retrenchment impacts $4889$ employees of the bergaining unit staff members."
