‘Lazy’ municipal cleaners take to the streets in Durban

eThekwini municipality cleaners have taken to the streets to protest against alleged unfair labour practices.

Their demands include permanently employing contracted expanded public works programme workers on a permanent basis, placing all municipal workers on a category 10 salary scale and granting organisational rights to the union.

Nkwanyana said the municipality does not recognise the union, despite it meeting the threshold of having at least 15% of all municipal workers as members.Nkwanyana said they were also calling on Kaunda to withdraw comments he allegedly made about municipal workers being lazy. “He must apologise or step down for his comments about us being lazy. How are we lazy when we want work but work is outsourced to sub-contractors? You go to parks and recreation and there are no tools to work yet contractors are working every day,” he said.TimesLIVE
