Msunduzi municipal strike to continue: SAMWU
SAMWU says the strike by workers at the Msunduzi Local Municipality will continue
The South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) has announced that a strike by employees at the Msunduzi Local Municipality in Pietermaritzburg will continue indefinitely until an agreement is reached. This continuation of industrial action follows a previous settlement in June, which the union claims was not fully implemented by the municipality.
SAMWU's Regional Secretary, Bongi Gule, stated that the municipality failed to sign the agreement, leading workers to resume their strike. The strike was initially suspended in June after the union and municipality agreed on various employee grievances. However, it resumed on Thursday when the union and the employer reached a deal on 10 items. Gule expressed hope that signing the settlement agreement would lead to the end of the strike.
