Municipal Workers from across the country have in general accepted the facilitators proposal on the wage curve, however the Union was mandated to clarify a number of issues with the facilitator and the employer. The matter is still the subject of negotiations. We will take the workers mandate to the South African Local Government Bargaining Council and also await the employers response to the facilitators proposal on the wage curve.

The South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) condemns the illegal airstrikes on Syria by Israel which took place on Sunday May 5th. The Israeli regime claims this was a defensive measure to protect Israel from a new generation of weapons that are supposed to be in the possession of the Syrian Government. Indeed the Israeli regime, mimicking the illegal bombing and invasion of Iraq by the United States, has stated that pinpoint air attacks were directed towards specific sites where weapons were being stored. In fact, the Israelis have recklessly attacked residential areas, and like the US invasion of Iraq, have failed to produce a single shred of evidence to support their claims.
