ANA reports that Telkom employees affiliated with the Communication Workers Union (CWU) staged yet another protest outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg on Friday.
This was while their leaders held a meeting with the African National Congress (ANC) leadership in a bid to get them to intervene in their wage fight. Telkom workers have been on strike for about five weeks demanding, among other things, 11% salary increments. The CWU’s Mphikeleli Nkuthu said the union was begging the ANC to remove Telkom chief executive, Sipho Maseko. He said it was clear that Telkom was not responsive to their demands, but wanted the status quo of apartheid era wage gaps to remain. On Wednesday, Telkom filed an urgent interdict at the Labour Court in bid to stop workers from picketing outside some of its offices across the country.
