Johannesburg - Striking municipal workers have dropped their demand for an 18% salary increase to 10%, it was reported on Wednesday.
SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) general-secretary Mthandeki Nhlapho told SABC radio that the change in demand would only affect the percentage and not their demand for a R2 000 across-the-board payment.
The decrease was decided during a second round of salary increase negotiations with the SA Local Government Association (Salga) on Wednesday.
Samwu was joined by representatives from the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union.
Nhlapho said Salga was still sticking to its original offer of six percent despite the change.
The strike is in its second week, but is not supported by Samwu Gauteng members whose leaders are embroiled in allegations on missing funds.
The negotiations were continuing on Wednesday evening.
