PUBLIC Service & Administration Minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi said on Sunday that government is willing to negotiate employee benefits with public service unions but will not budge from its 6% salary increase across the board. “The 6% offer on the salary increase is final, but we are open to discussion on areas related to benefits.” Most of the unions demanding a pay rise of 10% for the 2000/2001 financial year, the 12 public service unions last month rejected the 6% offer.
