Cosatu won’t accept strike damage responsibility

Lusanda Bill
29 September 2011


Cosatu says it may take further legal action after yesterday’s ruling in the Supreme Court of Appeals.

The Supreme Court of Appeal rules that trade unions are liable for damage caused during strikes.

The union’s Phindile Kunene says they do not condone violence or damage to property, and as such, should not be held responsible for the actions of a few individuals.

She says they are currently studying the judgement.
