Workers once again gathered outside the Durban City Hall after shutting down major roads with refuse trucks, demanding to be heard by city officials.
eThekwini Municipality said on Thursday that it had decided to take the grievances of its striking workers, who want to be elevated to a grade 10 salary level, to the central bargaining council to deliberate on the matter and make a ruling, following a series of talks that dragged on daily until the early hours of the morning.
Hundreds of workers have been on strike since the beginning of the week after news that former members of uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association employed as general assistants by the city would be promoted from grade 4 level salaries to grade 10, raising their monthly salaries from around R9,000 to R20,000.
Nzuza appealed to workers to resume their duties with immediate effect and refrain from resorting to violent means in the event of a dispute with the employer.
