Pick ‘n Pay employees in South Africa still deciding on strike action
The South African Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers Union (Saccawu) is warning that a full-blown strike by Pick n Pay employees is on the cards.
The trade union said on Sunday if talks with management fail then workers could down tools in two weeks.
More than 20 000 staff members returned to their posts this week following three days of industrial action.
They are demanding a staff discount of 10 percent on basic food items, a R550 monthly pay hike and increased working hours for casual workers.
Saccawu's Jan Kotze said workers are fighting for a living wage.
"Workers feel very strongly in terms of their demands. They have indicated that they will not be agreeing with anything that will see them at the losing side of the bargain," he said.
