The union would also demand a R3,000 housing allowance, an incentive bonus, 10 compassionate leave days per annum, five paternity leave days, a R300 cellphone allowance, a R300 increase in the firefighting allowance, and a 10%increase in the meal subsidy. Samwu also wants benefits enjoyed by other employees to be extended to workers at Rand Water Mpumalanga.
