SACCAWU reported that between 60-80% of Woolworths workers took to the streets countrywide yesterday when they heeded a call for union rights at the stores.
SACCAWU also said Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town were hit the hardest by the strikes, but they have not received any reaction by management.
Spokesperson for SACCAWU, Mike Abrahams, said the only problem was with mall owners, who refused their members and striking workers, from picketing front of the Woolworths stores.
“We’re pursuing a legal process to overcome that obstacle but in general, we feel that the strike has been very successful.”
