This as Metrorail has proceeded with its decision to increase ticket prices at the start of this month on top of the bad service that it is currently providing.
The Congress of South African Trade Union
in the Western Cape will be filing papers for the Class Action in the Cape Town
High Court against Metrorail.
This as Metrorail has proceeded with its decision to increase ticket prices at the start of this month on top of the bad service that it is currently providing.
Cosatu’s Tony Ehrenreich said when
commuters buy a ticket they enter into an agreement that the service will be
relatively reliable, not endemically unreliable.
Ehrenreich said COSATU has been in
negotiations with Metrorail but did not reach an agreement on how the hardships
of workers currently experienced with Metrorail was not compounded by a fair
increase.
“COSATU’s left with no option but to go to
court and file that the money lost by workers can be recovered from Metrorail
Ehrenreich added.
