Pick ‘n Pay workers in Cape Town down tools

Pick n Pay workers in Cape Town are planning a full-day strike and a march in the city today.

This follows protests by union members around the country last week over alleged "racist practices" at the supermarket chain.

South African Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers Union spokesperson Mike Abrahams claims management has a racial bias about transformation in the company.

But Pick n Pay says it has on four separate occasions proposed that an independent commission of enquiry be conducted.

Saccawu has rejected the proposals.
