Strike Deepens Over Salary Disparity | Johannesburg News

Workers in Ramotshere Moiloa are striking for a full week over long-standing salary disparities and job evaluation issues dating back to 2016, with talks failing to yield an agreement despite late-night negotiations. The strike has caused power outages and halted municipal operations as officials can’t access offices. Workers demand backpay totaling 110,000 rand for 199 employees tied to a recent Grade Four upgrade, plus unpaid overtime and leave days. A troubling report reveals the municipality spent 1 million rand monthly on overtime — a point of contention — while management vows to resolve the crisis and restore services.
