# Municipal union Samwu in KwaZulu-Natal condemns the uMhlathuze Municipality for failing to pay workers last month’s overtime, a violation of labour laws and a betrayal of workers’ rights. The union also raised concerns about poor working conditions, lack of safety gear, broken vehicles, and unfair treatment of staff. Samwu’s regional secretary, Zandile Gumede, demands urgent intervention from oversight bodies and warns of possible strike action if the municipality continues to ignore workers’ grievances.
