The strike has resulted in to-and-fro court applications, but workers are still not working at the firm’s plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria.
Numsa said in a statement that the car manufacturing company was trying to impose a shift rotation system on workers, but do not want to pay the shift allowance which had previously been allocated to workers. Jerry Morulane, Numsa regional secretary in Hlanganani, said the company was attempting to impose this only on workers who are paid hourly, and this was why they had made the decision to withdraw their labour in protest against these conditions.
“We urge the management to engage meaningfully with our demands. Instead, they are engaged in law fare and victimization in an attempt to silence workers from exercising their right to strike. BMW applied for an urgent interdict on Friday to block the strike,” he said.
