The South African Municipal Workers' Union insists the City of Johannesburg has no legal basis for reversing the employment contracts of 130 employees without a court order. | ZintleMahlati
The South African Municipal Workers' Union says the City of Johannesburg has no legal powers to reverse the contract conversions of 130 of its members.
The battle about the fixed-term contracts of political staffers has caused a back-and-forth battle between the City of Joburg and Samwu. City of Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse said legal consultations had advised that the ANC-led mayoral committee's resolution in October 2021 was illegal.In February, a council resolution reversed the decision, and workers were sent notices requesting them to make representations explaining how their contracts were converted.
In the directive, Mlandu wrote to Dr H Labuschagne, group executive for corporate and shared services, stating the process to be followed as the contracts were set to expire at the end of April.
