Despite the Bargaining Council’s decision yesterday, 13 July 2016, that no strike is allowed at the Midvaal Local Municipality, angry SAMWU employees have decided to ignore the ruling and continue with violent protests this morning. Threats of destruction to the main offices were made earlier, and the municipality has been evacuated to ensure the safety of staff members.
The management of the municipality strongly condemns these actions and urges the strikers to respect the decision handed down by the Bargaining Council.
Disciplinary action will be taken against all staff members involved in the destruction and illegal activities.
The municipality apologises to residents for the disruption in services that will occur during this period.
