IOL reports that following a week of unlawful and illegal protest by employees affiliated with the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu), the Johannesburg Labour Court on Friday granted a temporary interdict against the striking workers of the City of Tshwane.
Samwu members who were striking for salary increases have been accused of intimidating their non-striking colleagues and have caused damage to properties during their strike. The City approached the Labour Court on an urgent basis and the court declared the strike action unlawful and unprotected. It ordered the striking employees to disperse and further restrained them from participating in the unlawful strike/unprotected strike action and performing any acts in continuation or furtherance thereof. Additionally, the striking workers were prohibited from destroying any public or private property, or from intimidating any city employees. Some 15 employees have been arrested and charged with public violence and are facing internal charges which may lead to their dismissal.
