Amalgamated Beverages Industries (ABI) is to investigate reports of intimidation and violence during a week-long strike by workers.

ABI managing director John Ustas in a statement said they are actively seeking evidence of such unlawful activity and will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Ustas said they will not tolerate the intimidation of workers or violence against them.

ABI said it had beefed up its security since the beginning of the strike on Tuesday last week.


FAWU- aligned workers are demanding a 9.5 per cent wage increment, a 45 hour working week and overtime pay.
