Dear Madam,


 * RE: __SUBSTANTIVE NEGOTIATIONS DISPUTE: CWU & OTHERS / TELKOM SA LIMITED__**

This letter serves to take process of resolving the current dispute.

We have taken note of the contents of your national broadcast to employees dated 28 March 2006 after receiving our memorandum of demands of 27 March 2006.

We put on record that all allegations against CWU in the said national broadcast are incorrect and misleading and they should be withdrawn.

We submit the following in order to address the current dispute:

1. The company should suspend, with immediate effect, the implementation of the revised offer as reflected in your national broadcast (referred to above) because it //inter alia// undermines the duty to bargain in good faith and further undermines the spirit and purport of the current collective agreements.

2. We propose to have an urgent meeting to negotiate a process of resolving the current dispute.

Kindly favour us with your response regarding our proposal by no later than 16h00 on 29 March 2006. Failure to reply to our proposal by 16h00 today or the company’s refusal to suspend the implementation of the revised offer for SACU members and non-unionised employees, pending further negotiations between CWU and the company, will result in CWU approaching the appropriate Court on an urgent basis for appropriate relief inclusive of an order suspending the implementation of the revised offer concluded between the company and SACU.

Your urgent response is being awaited.

Yours faithfully

Acting Deputy General Secretary
