The Communication Workers Union is
disturbed and appalled by Telkom’s intention to retrench workers.
CWU president Cecil Mokgantsho said
even if Telkom can use a different concept or wording like voluntary severance
packages or early retirement, it means retrenchment which as CWU we will find
it difficult to agree with the company’s intention.
Mokgantsho added that CWU is extremely
disappointed that the company has decided to take this decision without
consulting the union.
He also said that they are also aware that
the company is forcing the workers to take voluntary severance packages and
early retirement and if they don’t do that they will retrench them.
Mokgantsho said as CWU they will never
allow any form of retrenchment of their members. Even if the company can
threaten or bully their members they will fight the company until the last drop
of their blood.
“We urge all our members not to take these
voluntary severance packages and early retirement.’' Said Mokgantsho
