Cosatu Secretary-General Zwelinzima Vavi swore that the
unions will make Johannesburg idle, if the government plans to continue
with e-tolling.
The union
is reported to have already commenced dialogue in organizing the forthcoming
strike, should e-tolls be launched
Vavi stated
that South Africans already have hikes in fuel prices, food and electricity.
“Cosatu is
already in talks with Nedlac for a legal protection of our members, in case
employers want to fire them for opting to participate in protest action,
instead of going to work,” Vavi said
He says
e-tolling will counter efforts of economic freedom, because there is already
under enough pressure.
