ANA reports that Dis-Chem Pharmacies said on Thursday that it had reached a satisfactory agreement with the National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (Nupsaw) to end a week-long strike.
Nupsaw members at Dis-Chem last week went on a countrywide strike over the recognition of their union’s organisational rights. Dis-Chem group chief executive Ivan Saltzman said: “The agreement reached allows Nupsaw organisational rights at the appropriate level of workforce representation, which is aligned with those that are in existence with Dis-Chem’s various other unions.” The strike had a limited effect on operations at Dis-Chem Midrand distribution centre, though trading operations at its 131 stores remained affected. Nupsaw is an affiliate of the SA Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu). In addition to the dispute over organisational rights, the union had a disagreement on decisions relating to discretionary bonus payments to a portion of its members in December 2017.
