SABC.png Protesting Pikitup workers expected back at work Horisani Sithole, SABC, Johannesburg, 10 April 2016 Striking workers at Johannesburg waste management company, Pikitup, are expected back at work as soon as Sunday night. This after an agreement was signed between the City of Johannesburg and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu). None of the demands that South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) had been calling for were heeded. The four-week illegal strike resulted in an accumulation of waste, which posed severe health risks. "As of tonight (Sunday) workers will return to work. From tomorrow (Monday) up until Wednesday all parties will go back to the table. The city will have principles that it would want to present on the salary parity issues that will be presented to the union. On Wednesday all parties must come back and say this is what we have agreed upon. The CCMA would still be driving these engagements," says City of Johannesburg Member of the Mayoral Committee for the Environment and Infrastructure, Matshidiso Mfikoe.
