Petroleum industry wants workers declared essential services eNCA

"I think the decision to investigate lies with the essential services committee so all we did was to make representations to the committee and essentially demonstrating the case why the production, transporting, and distribution of fuel is an essential service," said the association's executive director, Avhapfani Tshifularo.Meanwhile, unions say the move to declare the workers as essential will inhibit employees from striking.

"Why we are saying we are opposed to the application, is that if the petroleum industry succeeds with this application then it means workers will not be able to strike and the right to strike is a fundamental right," said Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola.
