Workers must have say in reopening business as lockdown eases, Cosatu says

Cosatu wants workers and unions to have a say on whether a business can reopen when the hard Covid-19 lockdown ends on April 30, following a risk assessment and a signed agreement by stakeholders.

“This must be negotiated with and agreed to by workers and unions in workplaces. Any sector or workplace must have a signed health and safety agreement,” he said. The lockdown regulations have had a huge impact on the economy as key sectors temporarily shut their doors as the country battled to flatten the curve of Covid-19, which has infected 3,953 and killed 75 in SA.

When SA moves from level 5 to level 4 on May 1, some businesses will be allowed to resume operations but under specific conditions, the president said.

A union bent on destroying what is left of our country. The union is there as long as you pay your contribution to them which pays for there lavish lifestyle, fancy cars and houses. Meantime we all suffer
