Cape Town - They are refusing to work their usual overtime as they claim the City of Cape Town does not pay them for it.

The city’s firefighters are contractually employed for 40 hours per week, which they get full pay for. Firefighters from across the city gathered at the Woodstock fire station on Friday to meet representatives from the South African Municipal Workers Union . Mhambi said most firefighters would have left the profession if they hadn’t been passionate about the job.

Richard Bosman, the city’s executive director for safety and security, said it was committed to finding a solution for the firefighters in the interest of rendering an effective service.
