The South African Municipal Workers’ Union today announced its intention to embark on a mass action protest before, during and after the local government elections next month.
The union says all of its members will join in protest against corruption and the use of labour brokers.
Meanwhile, workers affiliated to Samwu at the Johannesburg refuse collection company, Pikitup, continue their strike.
Piles of rubbish continue to stack up in several parts of the city with workers accusing Pikitup management of corruption and nepotism.
The City of Johannesburg has contracted private companies to help mitigate the effects of the strike.
