Vodacom workers down tools
Union spokesperson Mfanafuthi Sithebe said negotiations between the two parties broke down last Monday. The union is protesting for better working conditions and recognition of the union.
Sithebe said Vodacom was attempting to "do away with the union" by arguing that it did not hold a membership of 30% of Vodacom employees.
"We have reached the required threshold," he said.
Other workers were expected to join the strike on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Picketing and demonstrations were expected to take place at the Midrand, Durban, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town Vodacom offices.
Vodacom could not immediately be reached for comment.
