Cosatu has called on millions of workers in the country to stay at home on Thursday in protest against the freezing of wages in the government and private sector.
Cosatu’s planned strike day coincides with the Global Day of Decent Work which is observed worldwide.
“The federation is issuing a call to all workers and South Africans to join the strike on Thursday. They can either join the planned activities across the country or withdraw their labour by staying at home on the day,” Ntshalintshali said. “On Thursday, we shall be demanding urgent action from policymakers in government and decision-makers in the private sector to stop the attacks that are directed at workers. Both the public and the private sector have been blatantly undermining collective bargaining,” he said.
