The Congress of South African Trade Unions is fully behind the workers strike at a company called Golden Era in Mogwase, Moses Kotane Municipality, North West.

This is legally protected strike as a result of the employer’s failure to accede to the workers demands. So any attempt to intimidate and threaten workers with dismissal will be fiercely opposed by COSATU.

Workers are demanding a minimum wage of R4500, thirteenth cheque, 15% wage increase and a travelling allowance.
