I strongly advise anyone considering Sasbo to think twice. In my experience, they operate more like a syndicate than an organization that genuinely cares about their members. They are quick to debit your account every month, but when it comes to supporting you with work-related issues, they show no accountability or willingness to meet you halfway. When I needed their assistance most, they failed me completely—so much so that I ended up losing my job. Yet, come month-end, they never miss a beat in taking money from my account. Looking at the numerous other complaints on Hello Peter, it’s clear that this isn’t an isolated issue but a pattern. For anyone who values real support, I recommend looking at alternatives like Legal Leaders, who have shown far greater commitment to standing by their clients.

I am a member of almost 30 years I was working for ABSA and Fnb. When they try to get new embers one of the things they mension there is a funeral cover and financial assist assistance. I ask for financial assistance by Sasbo, I am medical board got lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes 2 and sleep apnea and etc. My health is a challenge for me. Sasbo reject my application with reason they only help member with unforseen circumstances, example flood, fire etc. My question is mine not a unforseen circumstance I can not go out to work and build up my things what I lost in life I feel is **************. I paid more dan R40000 as member they not willing to help with something.

I had my hearing today being represented by Eric in the Pretoria region, I feel like he did not represent me at all as he just sat there, The man took my case very lightly and as a joke. He didn’t have time to prepare and only prepared 15 minutes before my hearing, he didn’t even try to have closing arguments to defend me as a sasbo member, which I feel he was being biased towards my case.all he could say was shuuuu your charges are very heavy. I mean what do I pay sasbo for? For someone to just sit and make jokes in a very serious hearing meeting, I feel like he disrespected me and judged me, he didn’t act professional at all., the man did not even try to defend me, he didn’t even say a sentence in my defence. For someone who studied law, did not even say a word in my defence and closing arguments, he did not let me even speak when the chairperson asked any comments? He quickly dismissed me. I honestly find this very sketchy. I don’t trust this representative. Was he hired to make sure staff are dismissed?

My name is Anna Mokoka, i had a very bad with SASBO, I WAS SUSPENDED IN FEBRUARY FOR THE MISTAKE THAT I DID NOT DO INTENTIONALLY, I SUFFERED DEPRESSION AND STILL AM BECAUSE OF SASBO AND FIRST NATIONAL BANK. I WENT FOR A HEARING ON THE 19TH OF MARCH AND ON THE 2ND OF APRIL I WAS CALLED BY A BRANCH MANAGER TO GIVE ME THE DISMISSAL LETTER WHICH WAS SIGNED BY HIM AND HE WAS NOT EVEN AT THE HEARING. I WAS NOT QUESTIONED BY THE INVESTIGATOR, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SASBO DID N19OT CALL THE WITNESS BECAUSE I HAD ONE WHICH WAS MY IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR. I DID AN APPEAL, I DID AND APPEAL BECAUSE THE REP FOR SASBO DID NOT ASSIST ME AND I EMAILED THE APPEAL MYSELF BECAUSE SINCE I WAITED FOR HIM AS HE SAID I MUST SEND THE DISMISSAL LETTER TO HIM AND SINCE THEN I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM HIM I HAVE 19 YEARS WORKING FOR FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUT WHAT THEY DID TO ME IS VERY PAINFUL AFTER LOOSING MY MOTHER. I DID NOT GET PAID IN MAY AND DID NOT GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE EMPLOYER ABOUT MY APPEAL. WHEN I ASK THE LADY FROM SALARY SECTION SAID TO ME EVEN IF I DID APPEAL I DON'T GET PAID, FINE, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY MY GRATITUDE DAYS, EVEN TODAY I DID NOT GET ANY CENT FROM THEM, I HAVE A 13 YEAR BOY WHOM I PAY SCHOOL FEES AND TRANSPORT INCLUDING MY DEBIT ORDERS THAT ARE MY FUNERAL PLANS, WE HAVE TO EAT, I CALLED SASBO, NOT KNOWING THAT I WAS TALKING TO THE VERY SAME PERSON WHO LET ME DOWN, HE ASKED FOR MY DISMISSAL LETTER AND THE APPEAL., AFTER FEW DAYS THE VERY SAME BRANCH MANAGER CALLED ME TO THE BANK TO GIVE ME THE OUTCOME OF THE APPEAL WHICH WERE DECLINED. I DON'T HAVE JOB, AND NO ONE IS SAYING ANYTHING TO ME. PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT SASBO IS NOT A UNION FOR WORKERS IS A UNION FOR BANKS, I WANT FNB BANK TO PAY MY GRATITUDE DAYS AS THEY PROMISED, I AM GETTING LETTER OF DEMANDS FROM SCHOOL THAT THEY WILL EXPEL MY SON AS I DON'T PAY, MY POLICIES WILL LAPSE, IT VERY SAD BECAUSE I DID NOT ***** THE MONEY, I AM THE ONE WHO MADE MY SUPERVISOR AWARE THAT I THINK I OVER PAYED SBV NOW WHEN THEY TURN THINGS AROUND THEY SAID SBV HAVE ALERT THEM AND IS NOT TRUE THAT IS WHY I WANTED THE WITNESS. I AM SO HURT BECAUSE FNB AND SASBO BETRAYED ME,. FNB IS A VERY BIG BANK TO DO LOW CLASS THINGS, THE DISMISSAL LETTER DID NOT HAVE LETTER HEAD, I AM NOT SURE THE INDUSTRIAL RELATION PERSON AND THE REP OF THE BANK HOW DO THEY SLEEP KNOWING WHAT THEY DID TO AN INNOCENT PERSON WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO THEM FOR 19 YEARS AND THEY JUST TAKE ME LIKE A THRASH.

I have had a case with SASBO in 2018 for which I was misrepresented by Sarika who I am currently in communication with regarding an agreement she made with FNB as per her advise to voluntary resign. Only to be red flagged because she was siding with the bank. I don't know why I am redflagged but I resigned and now I am looking for these documents 1.Any written evidence from FNB on the outcome of the disciplinary hearing? 2.A copy your resignation letter from FNB. 3.A copy of FNB acknowledging receipt of your resignation letter. She's telling me that my case was in 2017 they keep documents for 5 years of which my case was in 2018 and its still within the parameters of the law. She knew about my BIOMETRICS INNOVATION ATM as well of I disclosed to her and she did nothing and because of SASBO and Sarika I've lost everything and getting employment because of the misrepresentation and the false agreement she made. Now I am looking for these documents that prove our agreement because the certificate of service I have with FNB says voluntary resigned and not dismissed so why am I registered at UIF as dismissed *** is this messing up my profile and future of employment for what??? SASBO is the worst union to represent people or fight for their careers its useless. I want my name removed fron the redflagged FSP and my BIOMETRICS ATM INNOVATION to be taken seriously.

Words of advice to ALL New Staff joining Companies, Do Not sign up with SASBO! If you are a Member, CANCEL NOW! I have worked for an Insurance Company for 32 and a half years, signed up, put my full trust in the Union SASBO, and I wholeheartedly Regret it TODAY! SASBO is a Union who certainly does not stand by their promised words, when luring their prey into joining. They Do Not Practice what they Preach! To label themselves A Union is a complete joke, A pretentious “Union” that will cast a blind eye & turn their back/s, when the signed up members need them. I personally know SASBO does not care about Members at ALL. I have witnessed scenes, as to what happens “behind the curtain” prior to meeting/discussing cases with particular members when in need! They do not work to “Assist” the Member, Rather “Against”! This Union falsely places incorrect information on the table, Working Against You, Not Within Your Favour! They will label all this as “accusations”. Believe ME it’s True. It happened to Me. Save that monthly fee paid to a Hopeless Union, it will be beneficial for you to pay for a qualified lawyer when/should you need one. Do Not waste Your Money on a Worthless Union, that will Not Benefit or Stand By You. Say NO THANK YOU to SASBO.
