No Kidding!! We currently have a case where an employee, a member of SACAWU has outright refused to do anything more than his Job Statement identifies as his tasks. This same employee is asking for more money and a promotion! Here's where we have a problem.
How are we to know that he is capable of doing a more advanced task? If it's never been on his job statement, he would never do the additional tasks and therefore would not be legible for a promotion.
If his attitude has always been to do only what is stated in his JS, then obviously, he is on a fixed salary that relates to his JS, so he isn't eligible for an increase either?
Trying to get this fellow to understand that he must show his initiative in order to advance is like trying to tell a brick wall to grow taller.
There are many staff members that I, personally, have advanced in leaps and bounds over the years, because they have "gone the extra mile" in proving their worth to the company.
The motto of all unions seems to be "More money - less work". It's getting so bad that nowadays you have to include bathroom breaks in a job statement...
