Members of the South African Municipal Workers' Union say they will embark on a nationwide strike on the 12th of this month.
The union says it has lost patience with what it calls the delays, evasions and generally irresponsible attitude of the South African Local Government Association, with which it negotiates pay and other matters.
The union said that among the issues giving rise to the strike was Salga's refusal to introduce a system that would grade all jobs in the municipal sector.
Salga also wanted to peg wages at 2008 levels while municipal managers and councillors continued to pay themselves hugely inflated salaries and bonuses and granted themselves other perks.
Samwu claims 130,000 members countrywide.
