18,000 jobs lost in wine industry — Vinpro

Nosey Pieterse, president of the Black Association of the Wine and Spirits Industry and chief negotiator for the Rural Agriculture and Allied Workers Union , was angered by the job losses.

But Pieterse said he is inundated with Unemployment Insurance Fund applications from farm workers. He said “unscrupulous farmers” were using the lockdown as an opportunity to terminate workers’ contracts. He said up and until now trade unions have conducted all business via phone or e-mail, but he hoped the easing of lockdown restrictions would allow unions to meet management and shop stewards to attempt negotiations on behalf of the workers. However, he said “the damage has already been done”.
