The SA Local Government Bargaining Council has told the country’s 257 municipalities to enter into talks with the two recognised trade unions in the sector - the SA Municipal Workers’ Union and the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union - to discuss the possibility of danger allowances.
The Democratic Municipal and Allied Workers Union of SA has demanded that municipalities immediately pay danger or safety allowances of R7 000 to all essential service workers who have been operating during the lockdown and that they must pay a minimum or no tax level for the allowance. The government currently pays standard and special danger allowances to various categories of its employees.
