Communication Workers’ Union to march to Post Office

The Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) will down tools and march to the offices of the SA Post Office (Sapo) on Friday, the union said.

Members would meet at the Congress of SA Trade Unions House, in Braamfontein, at 8am, CWU spokesman Matankana Mothapo said on Thursday  

They would march to Sapo’s regional office in Braamfontein to submit a memorandum of demands.

These included a relocation allowance, 10% salary increase, housing subsidy, medical aid post retirement benefit and the removal of capping from medical aid.

Sapo spokesman Bongani Diako said it was aware that CWU had a certificate to strike, but had not been notified of the strike.
