Trade union federation Cosatu and its affiliates will strike on Thursday in protest against the state of the economy, poor governance, and the falling living standards of workers, it said in a statement on Monday.
The strike will occur under section 77 of the Labour Relations Act , for which the federation has received a strike certificate from Nedlac. The strike is therefore protected under the LRA, and no one can be dismissed for participating. However, the no work, no pay rule will apply.
Cosatu claims its affiliates have a membership of 1.8 million, but a substantial section of these is in the public service, which includes essential services workers which may not strike. Cosatu's last day of action just under a year ago did not cause significant disruption to the economy as it was poorly attended by workers. Last year's protest was also backed by rival federation SA Federation of Trade Unions . Raise the R350 social relief of distress grant to the food poverty line ;
Increase the number of participants in the presidential employment stimulus programme, which employs mainly unemployed youth, to 2 million participants by February;To provide more resources to the SA Post Office to prevent its liquidation.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
