The Tsumeb municipality employees who had been on strike since Monday have since resumed work on Wednesday after the local authority reached an agreement with the Namibia Local Authority Workers Union over a salary increment.

The Namibia Local Authority Workers Union (NALAWU)  has demanded a 3% salary increase for Mariental municipal workers during a lunch-hour protest march. 

Employees of the Tsumeb Municipality, supported by the Namibia Local Authorities Workers Union (NALAWU), have submitted a petition to management accusing the council of mismanaging funds, delaying salary negotiations, and promoting unfair labour practices.
