Negotiations between the South African Municipal Workers Union and the City of Johannesburg over the Pikitup strike will continue today.

Refuse workers at the waste management agency went on strike last Thursday. The union says it is prepared to suspend the strike if it has a clear resolution from the City on its two outstanding demands.

Samwu is demanding an investigation into alleged corruption and nepotism, which it claims has led to wage disparities. Talks deadlocked at the weekend when Samwu felt the City was not negotiating in good faith.
