Despite the loss of their earnings, striking workers are determined not to give up their demands.
For 14 years, Marriam Mamabolo has worked as a Clover merchandiser, packing and stocking the company’s dairy products in shops across Gauteng.
Since November 2021, Mamabolo has been on strike, along with thousands of other Clover workers members of the Food and Allied Workers Union, and the General Industrial Workers Union of South Africa . This means she has not been paid for three months.that Clover stop plans for further retrenchments, factory closures and salary cuts, and for dismissed workers to be reinstated.
Two attempts at negotiations between Clover and the two unions representing workers have failed. This week, the labour department is intervening to try to find a solution. John Ngwane, a machine operator, has worked at Clover for 26 years. He says the company wants to make work on public holidays compulsory and change shifts from nine to 12-hour shifts. “They are changing our contracts of employment and we are saying no,” he says.
