Sactwu members in the cotton sector go on strike

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author


About 3000 members of the SA Clothing and Textile Workers Union in the cotton sector are on strike.

Sactwu says it issued a strike notice to employers on Monday following failed wage negotiations.

Union general secretary, Andre' Kriel says the issue in dispute is the employers' final wage package increase offer of 7.75%.

He says workers are demanding a 10% wage increase.

At least one Port Elizabeth company in Neave Township is affected by strike action.
