JOHANNESBURG - National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union is not backing down and vows to intensify its strike action.
The labour court will rule on an application to overturn an interdict against Nehawu's strike on Monday.
Thousands downed tools last week to force the government to agree to demands for a 10% wage hike.
They have rejected the 4.7% offer, calling it an insult.
The week-long protests have been marred by violence and intimidation.
