Cosatu concerned about strike violence

Cosatu says it is deeply concerned at the report of serious damage to property and injuries to staff at the Department of Labour offices in Durban on Friday, allegedly by striking security workers. Five-hundred guards are being detained after they ransacked the offices. Cosatu demands in a statement that all its members act within the law and pursue their demands in a disciplined manner. The trade union federation says in a statement they support Satawu’s decision to comply with a court order to stop its members from intimidating, assaulting and harassing non-striking workers and the public in general
