Business Report writes that axed Cosatu boss Zwelinzima Vavi believes the sacking of 228 SA Post Office (Sapo) workers affiliated to the Influential Information and Communication Union of SA (IICUOSA) is linked to workers not belonging to a Cosatu union.
Vavi addressed over 60 workers who marched to the Telecommunications and Postal Services Department in Pretoria on Tuesday demanding that Minister Siyabonga Cwele should intervene.
