EWN reports that Gauteng emergency services workers have warned of a total shutdown next month if Premier David Makhura and Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa do not respond to their grievances.
They marched to Makhura’s office in the Johannesburg CBD on Monday. The employees say they are working very long hours, but are not being paid fairly for this. They are apparently made to work 192 hours per month whereas the law prescribes that people should work 160. However, they have indicated that this would not be a problem if they were paid for the other 32 hours. The workers also want their colleagues who were dismissed in 2014 for working normal hours to be given their jobs back.
