14 August - Labour
Today we spoke to Etienne Vlok – From SACTWU. Earlier this week SACTWU announced that thousands of metro area clothing workers in the country will be getting extra wages at the end of this week. This is because the union reached an agreement with clothing employers for extra wages when a public holiday falls on a Saturday. In the Western Cape, the agreement states that when a Public Holiday falls on a Saturday, workers will be paid 5-and-a-half hours' extra wages if no work is performed on such a day so because this year, the National Women's Day fell on a Saturday these extra payment provisions accordingly applies. Etienne will explain more about the agreement. For more information contact their offices on (021) 447 4570.
