The South African Municipal Workers Union is still consulting its members countrywide about its impending strike.
The union applied to the Labour court to stage a national strike last week.
SAMWU spokesperson Tahir Sema says the union has decided to embark on strike action because management does not want to pay workers decent wages.
Sema says even though there are positive developments, the employer body, Salga, has not met the union.
He says they also want to stamp out corruption in the local government sector.
"The union met a high level delegation of the employer body in the Limpopo province and they have agreed to concede to the unions's demands and force the National department of cooperative Governance and Salga nationally to concede to the union's demands, however Salga has not come back to us" Sema said
