File Johannesburg bus service Metrobus has been crippled by strike action this week. Union Demawusa is demanding an 18% wage increase, a 14th cheque and that dismissed employees be reinstated. City of Joburg said the industrial action was being perpetrated by a stark minority. As the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality's passenger bus service Metrobus crawls through a week of strike action that has left its operation completely suspended since Wednesday, the operator accused a union it does not recognise of anarchy while the union cries suppression. The Democratic Municipal and Allied Workers' Union of SA (Demawusa) embarked on a strike at the beginning of the week. Demawusa is demanding an 18% wage increase, a 14th cheque, a transport allowance, fair pay variations, and that dismissed employees be reinstated.
