SAMWU Mangaung on Full Blown Strike

The South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) Mangaung engages in a full blown strike. Among their demands: to “deal away with outsourcing and privatization of municipal services in all departments, e.g. Finance (Metering Section), Water & Sanitation Section (Plumbing/ maintenance), Centlec (utilization of Ikageng Private Electrical Company to maintain streetlight and installation of electricity pre–paid meters), Solid Waste Division (utilization of private companies for refuse removal), Fleet Management Division (unrepaired compaction vehicle due to utilization of private companies).” The workers have also protested “victimization of Centlec employees and silencing of the union by charging shop stewards.”
