While progress had been made, nothing was set in stone regarding the impasse between the regional SA Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) and the City of Tshwane administrators over benchmarking payments.

“We would like to categorically state that contrary to the statement issued by the City claiming that there is an agreement reached, there is no such, but rather outcomes of engagements between parties.”

“We will be consulting with members on the proposal by the employer and it is only members who will give the regional leadership mandate on this matter. Tladinyane said the union had been given until today and shop stewards would be going to depots and other workplaces to speak to workers.The City, Samwu and the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union entered into a benchmarking collective agreement in November last year following the upgrade of the City from category 9 to 10 in 2017.

On Friday, the City indicated that after weeks of labour unrest due to the payments of benchmarking monies, an agreement which effectively brought an end to the labour dispute had been reached.
