JOHANNESBURG - Members of the South African Municipal Workers' Union (SAMWU) are marching in Tshwane over salary increases on Wednesday.
The union said it will submit its memorandum to municipal officials to demand clarity on the disputed increases of between 3.4% and 5.4%.
The union said its members were not satisfied with what the employer was offering.
SAMWU's Donald Monakhisi said another issue to be raised was the grading of the 2013 metro police intake.
"So, amongst these two, you've got other issues at metro police that has to do with the uniform for the pregnant women. We've got the 2013 intake of metro police there that have been placed on a wrong grading, so those are issues that will form part of our march today."
