COSATU has expressed its support for construction workers, who have entered their second day of strike action today.

COSATU spokesperson, Patrick Craven said: “ COSATU has declared its full support of construction workers and their claim for an average 13% wage increase which we think is justified and very reasonable.”

Craven said contractors continued to gain huge profits from their developments while the workers were still being paid next to nothing, despite the fact that many of them were “highly skilled and all of them worked in dangerous conditions.
