This is after three farm workers died, and more than 20 people were injured in an accident near Worcester, in the Western Cape, on Monday.Cosatu's Malvern De Bruyn wants the Human Rights Commission to investigate the incident.
“We raised the question of farmers using trucks to transport workers, for us that is a violation of those workers’ rights.” The Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Minister Thoko Didiza has also called on stakeholders in the sector to look at the issue of transportation of farmworkers in the country.
That's perfectly fine. Walk and see more, they say. But if you're late for work, expect a warning or eventually dismissal. At least they can vote, So walking everywhere is a small price to pay, right? Mmmm... Maybe a taxi service could help with some extra income... 🤔
Are you still saying 'must be'?
Walk to work then 🙂
I agree , it has to be banned
Yes, I agree. It is every worker's own responsibility to get to & from work.
Hmm then taxi’s should be banned to.
But it is banned.
Talking union with out action,
Eaxactly! Lets enforce farmers to buy luxury airconned buses for labourers. Especially to take them to town to shop on pay day.
A bad ride on a truck is better than a good walk.
Unsafe transportation should be banned for everyone. It doesn’t become safe when you go to the beach with friends
Yes, they should get their own transport.
So must transporting school children in bakkies.
Ask fix fokol MbalulaFikile to give farm workers railroads to their houses! They can also walk... 🤷♂️ or get a car from the ANC instead if a T-shirt... the options are limitless
Jip, let them pay taxi fees like all the other workers. Taxi's are safe. Hang on...
