Vryburg- The Congress of South African Trade Unions will be marching with SACCAWU to Supreme Poultry on Friday demanding the reinstatement of poor workers who have been dismissed because of a shortage of water in the company.

COSATU and SACCAWU engaged with the employer on Tuesday at the head office of the company and the company could not bring anything that may resolve the matter and SACCWU continue to argue that it is not the responsibility of workers to provide water but the responsibility of the municipality.

“Our call remains that all workers must be reinstated and we can start the discussions on what must be done who we will jointly take up the matter to the provincial government and municipality” Cosatu North West provincial secretary Solly Phetoe said.

“We call all workers who are retrenched and those who were dismissed unfairly during the strike, including the all workers employed by Supreme Poultry in Mafikeng, to join the march which will be on 30th May 2014 starting from the crossing to the main gate of the company from 8h30am to 12h00” SACCWU said.

The memorandum will be handed over to the mayor, the provincial government, Department of Labour and the company director.

“We will call the community of Mafikeng to support our march for reducing the unemployment in our province” Phetoe said.-TDN
