Municipal union bosses say strike will intensify

Municipal union bosses say a nationwide strike will intensify despite an apparent boycott to the industrial action by union members yesterday.

At least 85-percent of municipal workers turned up for work in Gauteng yesterday, ignoring the call for a strike, citing corruption within the union as the main cause of their apathy.

The SA Municipal Workers’ Union is calling for an 18-percent or two-thousand-Rand wage increase. The SA Local Government Association has so far only offered them six-percent.
