The Heineken Workers Forum announced this week that it will be marching against an alleged “sex for shifts” system playing out at the brewery.

Heineken workers are preparing to march against sexual abuse at the beer giant’s Sedibeng brewery.

Millicent Maroga, Heineken’s corporate affairs director, has denied allegations that the company has turned a blind eye to sexual harassment claims. There have been no complaints received across the various platforms provided to Imperial workers, Maroga said.reported on the struggle of workers, many of whom were working at the brewery under various labour brokers, like Imperial, to be made permanent by Heineken.

In July last year, the Constitutional Court made a landmark ruling on labour broking which interpreted Section 198 of the Labour Relations Act to mean that workers employed through labour brokers, after a three-month period, become permanent employees of the companies they are contracted to. Following the ruling, Craig Kirchmann, an attorney for labour-broking company Assign Services, said that, for the labour-broking industry to thrive, labour brokers will have to ensure that they are experts at managing payrolls and the administration of workers.Despite the Constitutional Court’s judgment, and supposed efforts on the part of Heineken to review its contracts with service providers, the struggle against labour broking at Heineken has seemingly persisted.
