The Food and Allied Workers Union on
Wednesday said about 2 000 farm workers from Ceres and De Doorns will be
marching today for better working conditions.
Fawu Organiser Xolisi Mngxunyeni said the
workers are demanding amongst other things a national bargaining forum to
centralise negotiations and negotiate the same benefits for all the workers
under the Du Toit group.
Mngxunyeni said we at FAWU have demanded
the workers that enough is enough. We have to march to Du Toit head offices as
they are the main agricultural group based here in Ceres not only here in Ceres
but across South Africa
Mngxunyeni said the workers have expressed
their views that they have been seasonal workers that the Du Toit group calls
to work during summer.
“They have been working for 30 years and
still don’t have any permanent positions as they in search of job security from
the Du Toit group Mngxunyeni added.
