Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The South African Municipal Workers\u2019 Union (Samwu) has welcomed a decision by the labour court to hear the City of Tshwane\u2019s review of decisions ordering it to pay and implement the agreed wage agreement for 2021 and 2023 on November 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision is a significant milestone for the union and its members,\u201d the union said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

Municipal workers were due for a 3.5% salary increase in 2021 and a 5.4% increase in 2023.<\/p>\n

Instead of implementing these increases, the municipality applied for exemptions for both years.<\/p>\n

When these exemptions were dismissed by the South African Local Government Bargaining Council, the city sought to review the decisions, further delaying workers\u2019 increases.<\/p>\n

The union said it had consistently opposed these actions, which it believed were driven by political motives rather than financial necessity, particularly from the DA-led administration.<\/p>\n

It said DA leader John Steenhuisen had been at the forefront of this injustice to workers, even stating: \u201cIf you are unable to tell Samwu that there is no money for salary increases, you will have nothing to inherit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe once again urge the new political leadership in Tshwane to withdraw these review applications and engage in meaningful dialogue with Sawmu,\u201d the union said.<\/p>\n

It said the cost of living had risen sharply, and many of its members were now struggling with debt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese workers are not just numbers, they are individuals with families, facing daily hardships. If the new leadership truly cares about its employees\u2019 welfare, it will prioritise their needs over political agendas.\u201d<\/p>\n
