Even Cambridge is exploiting it's employees, long working times, no leave, paid way below minimum wage

ThembarifumoS We have to also investigate how many of the staff are legal having work permits. Spar employs majority of Zimbabwean workers. That is an easy way to beat the system. Employ people who are not on the system and they cannot make noise because they are not citizens

Whooo!

'The hiring of illegal foreigners; and Illegal deductions.'

A lot of companies are doing the same you work for 5 days and you must work a Saturday for free because you work for the public no pay no transport u must get to work

They should check all retail stores who dnt even pay minimum wage to their employees and they let employees work for years as casuals especially pnp

Not only Spar most of the places they dnt follow the right procedures if u raised your problem the Boss will find e way to fire you

I so wish labour law could visit where I work since Metal industry failed us as workers.

Even where I work. Labour laws are not being followed
