Blue Ribbon workers are set to strike after management and the Food and Allied Works Union talks failed.

Major pickets will be staged in Johannesburg and Cape Town in the next two weeks.

Cosatu affiliates and the union’s members plan to mobilize in a mass boycott of the Premier Foods’ products.

Fawu says it is confident that they will reach a settlement, if the company accepts that central bargaining is the way to go.

They union added that they welcome Premier Foods managements’ change of position with regard to the need for further talks to find resolutions to the current dispute.
