defenceWeb reports that numerous Solidarity and Numsa members working for Denel on the East Rand and in Pretoria have been participating in sporadic protest action since last week over the late payment of performance bonuses.
According to Solidarity’s Willie Venter, bonuses are usually paid around June or July each year to eligible employees, but Denel management has advised that payments would only be made by the end of October this year due to a cash flow problem. However, the company had already budgeted for bonuses in the previous financial year, Venter pointed out. He added that since the disclosure of the Denel Asia debacle, Denel employees have been plunged into uncertainty about the company’s future.
