An interim order, compelling striking Municipal employees in the essential services to return to work immediately, has been granted by the Labour Court.
Staff employed at Metro Water, Electricity and Durban Solid Waste Units have been interdicted and restrained from participating in the strike. They have been ordered to return to work on Friday, 19/08/11. Failure to comply with this instruction may result in the termination of employment contracts of individuals.
Most Municipal offices and depots were operational today and services continued with minimal disruptions. Only a few minor incidents of intimidation and assault were reported.
A total of 1930 employees were recorded as absent without permission, representing 8.3%.
