Labour - farm workers strike called off

In today's show, we spoke to Anton Rabe - Chairperson of Agri SA's Labour and Social Policy Committee. He was speaking to us about the latest regarding the farm workers strike. After weeks of violence by striking farm workers across the Western Cape it emerged on Tuesday that the strike has been called off indefinitely. According to media reports workers would be encouraged to unionise or to organise into collective bargaining bodies and to negotiate directly with their employers. Rabe said he welcomed the announcement and that from the beginning they had accepted that there are challenges in their industry but throughout have called for proper processes to be put in place to address it.
