WATCH: Witspos Post Office workers go on strike for better salaries
Witspos employees down tools after failing to get a raise.
Ormonde-based Witspos Post Office employees have downed their tools after failing to get a raise. The protest has been going on since this morning, September 22.
Protesters say they are striking for salary increment that was promised to them in April, their pension fund and medical aid that is not paid by the company.

According to Thabo Dihole, Chairperson of the workers union at Witspos, “last year, 2019 we went to Sanlam to check for pension fund and it was R1 million and when we go to check again this year, we found out that is R750, 000. The company is taking the money,” he said.
An update will be published as soon as more information is available.
