The Congress of South African Trade Union has called for the reinstatement of the 450 workers who were dismissed because of shortage of water in the Supreme Poultry Company. 

Cosatu had a meeting with the employer this week.  Cosatu is arguing that it is not the responsibility of workers to provide water but the responsibility of the municipality. 

Cosatu North West Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe said we met with the employers on Wednesday and they confirmed that it is not their responsibility of workers and managers so why workers must be punished.

“We proceeding with our march our demand is that those workers must be reinstated unconditional and we can go to the City in terms of discussing with the management what is that must happen between ourselves and the employers to approach the municipality in dealing with that matter.” Phetoe added.
