JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has suspended its strike at the Reagetswe, Triple M, and Newrak mining companies pending wage negotiations.Members affiliated with the union have agreed to suspend the strike to allow for talks between the employer and the union to resolve these issues.The union said contract workers had the right to be represented by a union, especially because they were so deeply exploited.
“The issue of organisational right is a burning issue and it was the main reason our members went on strike. Contract workers have the right to be represented by a union. Implats has created an abnormal working environment where the principle of equal pay for work of equal value is violated every day,” said Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola
Unions are cancer on society. Unions care for nobody but themselves and their continued existence.
