Cosatu NW against retrenchment of workers at HJA Distributors

Lusanda Bill
30 October 2013

The Congress of South African Trade Union in the North West said it is disappointed and shocked at the manner in which some employers are dismissing and retrenching workers in the Rustenburg area. 

Cosatu Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe said there are allegations that some of the employers such as HJA distributors are retrenching workers for talking to a labour inspector during inspection day. 

Phetoe said the inspectors do not need to inform the employers when they want to do inspection.  The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa have been given a retrenchment letter by the employers of HJA regarding this issue.

“The employer must withdraw the letter immediately, failure to do that we will meet with the employers on the street” Phetoe added.
