eNCA reports that the SA Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers’ Union (Saccawu) will hold discussions with members on the new self-service till points at Pick n Pay.  

The tills points are being tested at the supermarket chain’s Observatory store in Cape Town.  This is the first of its kind in SA’s retail market.  But Saccawu and union federation Cosatu plan to boycott the new machines.  “We have been in discussions as Saccawu and Cosatu with our members at Pick n Pay.  They are opposed to these measures.  There will be formal negotiations between with Saccawu the union that represents members at Pick n Pay and that will reaffirm Cosatu’s position that we are opposed to staff-less teller machines", Western Cape Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich indicated.
