We will cripple Telkom’s operations: Union

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has marched to Telkom’s headquarters to deliver a memorandum of demands‚ which includes an 11% salary increase and six months paid maternity leave.

The CWU said on 2 August that it also wants a moratorium on retrenchments and outsourcing for checkpoint divisions, according to a report by TimesLive.

“We went to Telkom to announce that if nothing happens on the 11th of August‚ we are going to march to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange where Telkom has been registered as a shareholder‚” said CWU general secretary Aubrey Tshabalala.

The union said it will “cripple operations by fully withdrawing our labour not only in Telkom but in all its subsidiaries” if its demands are not met.
