As Pikitup workers continue their strike against the Johannesburg rubbish removal company, the knots of a much older labour dispute could be loosened this Thursday. A protest led by former municipal workers will be calling for the Mayoral Committee of Johannesburg to reopen the case of their dismissal from the Midrand municipality in 1994. They were dismissed for taking action against corruption in the now-defunct municipality, losing even their pensions in the process.
