TygerBurger<\/em> that they have been locked out of the store after
\ndowning tools on Friday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe workers are demanding a 10% wage increase, while the
\nretail outlet is offering 5.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shop steward, Glenda Heynes, previously explained that after
\napproaching the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA)
\non 4 June, wage negotiations deadlocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says since that day, there have been no negotiations
\nwhich is why they have decided to down tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, about 85 employees embarked on the strike. The
\nstrike action continued throughout the weekend, ending at 05:00 this morning
\n(Monday 2 July).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn Saturday we were informed that none of the striking
\nworkers would be allowed in the shop this morning (Monday 2 July). Even though
\nwe can\u2019t enter the store, we will continue to stand outside the store because
\nthere\u2019s nothing else we can do,\u201d says Heynes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if the employees will reconsider their 10%
\ndemand, Heynes says they will stick to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has stressed that these employees are willing to
\n\u201csacrifice no work, no pay just to get demands heard\u201d because they can\u2019t
\nsurvive on the little money they\u2019re getting paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a previous interview, Heynes told TygerBurger<\/em> that there
\nare employees earning only R18 per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPick n Pay is yet to comment on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
