In case you missed it | Numsa says it’s ready to down tools over wages in vehicle sector

has given the strongest indication yet that it could embark on strike action to force embattled automotive sector bosses to accede to their demands.

“We have set aside these four days to purely fight and see whether we can’t find a solution and reach an agreement. If we don’t reach an agreement, we will strike. I don’t want to lie. We can’t be massaging each others’ egos for far too long.” In addition, the union is demanding an annual bonus increase from 8.33% to 12%; six months’ paid maternity leave and 10 days paid paternity leave; as well as a transport allowance of R5,000 a month. Numsa also wants clerks, welders, spray painters and metal-finish workers to be paid a 20% allowance.

The automotive sector is one of the key pillars of the economy as it contributes more than 7% to GDP, which contracted 3.2% in the first quarter of 2019.

Numsa ready to also join the line with its wukers. Unemployment line. Welfare line. Uif line. Anc food parcel line. New job application line

These gangster style Mafia Unions are forcing the car manufacturers to speed up the process to 4th IR. They leave them with no choice.

Well .... lets all down tools ?

Just WAIT till the 4th IR REALLY kicks in and ALL these Unions will go bust! Carry on with your threats to hold our economy at ransom, julle gaan almal goed af kk!

And that ladies & gentlemen is part of the MANY reasons our economy sucks! Mafia style unions holding our economy at ransom, chasing away the job creators.

These guys are bringing on robots sooner than required.

It should. We have too many investors. This would make it clear to potential investors what is expected from them, and what they can expect. That should clear out a good few. R0 per month is far more useful in feeding oneself than R3500 per month.

Despite Ramaphosa warning of mass unemployment and Ford taking a knock in the international market Ford announced they will make multiple jobs available. Numsa thanks them with a strike. Tomorrow will be “Asijiki! WMC evil! Waaaa.” *Shrug* How is Namib looking this time of year?

No problem Botswana is waiting for all the companies

Numsa always in a wage dispute

Close all the vehicle factories. Good bye Jobs. Enjoy eating vokol. Hope Numsa kan feed the workers then

To many strikes. Demands... See there..no work
