SAMWU vows to take the City of Cape Town to the Labour or Equality Court
Archie
Hearne - From the South African Municipal Workers Union representing the
City of Cape Town ’s aggrieved female
fire fighters spoke to us about the latest developments and their meeting
tomorrow. SAMWU continues to vow
taking the City of Cape Town to either the Labour
or Equality Court , in a bid to ensure
that the court declares the actions of the City against its female fire
fighters as discriminatory. This emerged after a CCMA hearing held last week Friday July 5th,
2013 as
the City of Cape Town ’s female fire
fighters lose substantial benefits when they fall pregnant such as 23% of their
allowances since the City declares pregnant fire fighters as non-operational
during which period they forfeit their allowances. While non-operational males
continue to enjoy their allowances. A planned meeting is expected to go ahead
tomorrow Friday July 12th,
2013 at the Samwu offices
in Beverley Street , Athlone from 10AM till 12PM . For further
information you can contact Archie on 076 896 7288. Our efforts to get a word from the City of Cape Town failed.
