Unions supporting striking workers of dairy producer Clover have said the strike will continue and action against the company intensified. The unions and Clover management failed to reach an agreement during recent negotiations.that Clover stop plans for further retrenchments, factory closures and salary cuts. They also demand that the company reinstate all dismissed workers.
On Tuesday, striking workers and supporting union members met in Johannesburg under the banner of ‘Clover Strike War Council’. Saftu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said they will “scale up the fight” and mobilise more support for striking workers. He said the company told representatives that it would not “entertain any discussion” on the disinvestment of the Milco SA consortium. Workers and unions want the company to be independent of the Israeli company Central Bottling Company which owns Clover through the Milco SA consortium.that it had explored “all possible avenues” to minimise retrenchments but trading conditions and poor economic growth have made things difficult.
But, unions believe Clover is not being transparent about its finances. When unions asked for the financials, including the amounts paid to Clover’s top management, the company refused to share that information, they claim.
