TMG Digital reports that the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) says it will oppose plans by the City of Tshwane to terminate workers’ contracts.  The union claimed Democratic Alliance (DA) mayors had received directives from the party’s federal executive to trim administrative staff and that these “anti-worker” plans “will leave thousands of workers out of jobs‚ with the City of Tshwane alone retrenching over 900 workers."  Samwu will be monitoring all municipalities‚ and particularly those governed by the DA.
