Description: Lead article for the February 2000 issue detailing SAMWU's national wage demands. The union has submitted a demand for a R1600 minimum wage and a sliding scale increase (15% for lower earners to 8% for high earners). A critical focus of the issue is the union's opposition to the 6% cap on municipal expenditure, which SAMWU argues unconstitutionally limits collective bargaining and wage improvements.
