Neo Goba / 4 December 2015 00:42 The South African Municipal Workers’ Union yesterday met City of Johannesburg officials to come up with resolutions regarding the mountains of rubbish piling up in the city. A decision to end the protest action follows intervention by Jacob Mamabolo, the MEC for the Gauteng Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. “After a series of meetings and consultation with our members, we have decided to end the protest action at Pikitup,” said Papikie Mohale, SAMWU’s national spokesman. Speaking to The Times Mohale said: “There’s going to be a facilitation process led by an advocate. The city manager will then look into the salary disparities for all workers within the City of Johannesburg and we expect this process to be completed in two weeks. “The protest action was not necessarily about salaries; it was about salary disparities, including the working conditions of our members, and the use of casual workers,” Mohale said. Last week, SAMWU’s Gauteng regional chairman, Conel MacKay, said the union had two demands -— that Pikitup managing director Amanda Nair must go, and inconsistent salary payments “be rectified”.
