Business Report writes that mobile network operator Cell C was in the spotlight after its head office in Johannesburg was shut down on Tuesday morning when staff protested over bonuses that were not paid.
According to an eNCA report, the protest came as a result of alleged non-payment of bonuses after employees were promised a 25% bonus by Cell C management. A discretionary amount was paid instead. An ICTU member who was interviewed by eNCA at the protest said bonuses were promised to staff if Cell C met certain performance targets, but these were not paid. Cell C said in a statement: “This relates to bonus payments made in 2018 for work-related performance in 2017. Cell C is engaging with the ICTU leadership and its members to work towards a positive outcome. Plans to minimise disruptions to both Cell C’s business and its service to customers are in place. As a business Cell C respects the rights of its unionised employees to take part in a peaceful strike."
