About 70 000 construction workers are expected to strike from Wednesday, halting work across the country including on stadiums for the 2010 World Cup. This after the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Monday refused to declare the action illegal.
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) confirmed that it had won the case against the SA Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors (Safcec) which argued that the strike was unprotected and premature because its wage agreement with NUM only expires in August.
’Employers must expect no mercy from us, they must deliver 13 percent or we will strike until 2011,’ said NUM spokesperson Bhekani Ngcobo.
The 2010 Organising Committee says it will not interfere with the democratic rights of the unions.
