Food and Allied
Workers Union said workers belonging to them and SACCAWU have been protesting
at Dairybelle plant near Somerset East since last week in protest against a
worker being called a baboon.
It is alleged that
these comments were made by a senior manager at the Cookhouse plant.
Fawu Spokesperson
Dominique Swartz said calling a person a baboon is offensive. What is more worrying is that the company in
question Dairybelle refuses to investigate the remarks that were made in front
of other workers.
Swartz added that
Fawu supports its members in the struggle for justice and a non-racial working
environment. At this stage we will do
all that we can to address the issues of nepotism and union bashing currently
being experienced at Dairybelle in Somerset East.
