Business Unity South Africa has raised concerns over the economic impact of the Congress of South African Trade Unions The South African Communist Party , Federation of Unions of South Africa and other labour federation affiliates will join the strike.
Mathe says, “Cosatu relies on a certificate that was offered to the four years to go on strike. What this does is that it deprives parties in Nedlac to engage and discuss each proposed strike because the union simply realised the one that was issued a long time ago under different economic conditions. We think that that needs to reform so that each proposed strike can be discussed by parties of Nedlac before authorisation is granted.
He says, “The rights of workers to withdraw their labour, the right to strike is a fundamental constitutional right. We know businesses would love to see a right being taken away but this is the way of democracy and this is a way for workers to put pressure on government and employers to say, we’re sitting on an economic time bomb. We’ve got to address these issues.
The South African Commercial Catering and Allied Workers Union will join Cosatu in its nationwide strike.
