The South African Municipal Workers’ Union and the City of Cape Town are to go to the Bargaining Council on Tuesday.

This comes in bid to stop a strike by metro police and other unhappy members.

Last week unhappy metro police, traffic officials and municipal workers threatened to cause chaos in the city during the festive period.

A daily newspaper reports workers were not satisfied with the city’s new staff structure as this would result in changes to their ranking, demotions and salary cuts.

However both parties have met twice in the last week and failed to reach any agreement, Samwu’s provincial secretary Lance Veotte says that they hope to resolve the issue with the city.
