Rand Water’s interdict to prevent Samwu’s strike dismissed

JOBURG - The South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) were successful at the Labour Court in Braamfontein on 20 August after an interdict by Rand Water that would prevent the union from striking was dismissed.

Deputy chairperson of Samwu Justice Sera said, “This was just a process by Rand Water to delay the process. It is our right to strike.”

According to Sera, the union is demanding an 8% to 10% increase in wages for Samwu members who work for Rand Water.

“Rand Water will have to meet our demands because of the 3500 employees that we represent a significant number will strike.”

According to Sera, if a high number of workers strike water flow will be hampered across South Africa.
