SAMWU in Free State has called on Mangaung Metro Municipality to halt the unilateral implementation of the shift system and engage in formal consultation with organised labour.
This comes after the suspension of more than 30 workers for defying the implementation of the shift system.
SAMWU has won the case against the metro in the Labour Court on behalf of over 280 of its members. The court ordered Mangaung Metro to reinstate workers terms and conditions of employment as they existed before August 1, 2025.
