The South African Municipal
Workers Union has rejected the South African Local Government Associations
latest wage offer labelling it as ridiculous.
Samwu members are demanding a
minimum wage of R7 500 while Salga is insisting on a three year agreement.
Salga,
which is representing 278 municipalities, has been in negotiations with 230,000
employees affiliated to Samwu since March.
Samwu’s General Secretary
Walter Theledi says they are just offering 0.04% on top of the 5.4% they have
been offering.
Obviously that didn’t go well
with us. Our members are now being reported back to and obviously a solution to
go on strike might be taken soon, Theledi added.
