The New Age reports that members of the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) in Ekurhuleni on Monday threatened to unleash a bout of industrial action if the municipality failed to accede its demand for higher wages by Thursday.
The union's regional chair Chris Mavunda said: "Workers have returned to work on Monday after a march to mayor Mzwandile Masina's offices last week Friday. We are waiting for a certificate to embark on a strike if our demands are not met by Thursday." He also lamented management's hardened attitude towards wage negotiations and claimed that as a result of the mayor's salary structure, “some of our members have been demoted and their contracts of employment tampered with." Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe said the municipality “welcomes any constructive engagement with Samwu on the salaries matter.”
