Bush Radio reports that the Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) supports the ongoing strike by workers at Robertson Winery in demand of a decent wage to improve their livelihoods.
Fawu’s Media Officer Dominique Martin said: “Fawu supports the struggle of hundreds of Robertson Winery workers. These employers make huge profits off these workers backs who work long hours and are dedicated. Fawu feels that these employers can give their workers a tangible decent increase because they’re in a position to do so. We also feel that, thinking of our history especially concerning farm workers in rural areas. Employers should feel compelled to make a real difference in their compensation and give them a decent living wage.”
