Cape Town - The National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union Western Cape has started a petition in support of frontline workers who have lost their lives dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Provincial secretary Eric Kweleta said the union was forging ahead with the implementation of its national programme of action to protect workers from getting infected with Covid-19 by mobilising strategic partners and other organisations “who care about the lives of workers”. He said they found that working environments were appalling and most of the employers failed to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. He said the government had prioritised billions of rand for the purchase of personal protective equipment, however their members were working without protection.
