Members of the South African Catering and Commercial Allied Workers' Union will hold mass protest marches in Durban and Johannesburg today.

The union members are workers from Dis-Chem pharmacies and Game retail stores and will continue with pickets at their respective workplaces across the country.

Workers will use the strike to highlight what they regard as management’s stubbornness to negotiate and the ongoing retrenchment of more than 15-hundred workers.

Union spokesperson Lucas Ramatlhodi says they will not compromise workers' rights because of the World Cup.
