Clicks staff to go on strike

Johannesburg - The SA Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers Union (Saccawu) on Wednesday said its members at retailer Clicks Group [JSE:CLS] would embark on a protected strike from December 1.

The union said the strike was "in pursuance of the struggle for a living wage and in support of their demand for decent wage increase".

According to the union, the workers are demanding R397 across the board, while management's offer stands at R335.

"While agreement was reached on all other issues during the negotiations, the only outstanding issue is the wage increase," Saccawu said.

On the first day of the strike, workers will gather at local union offices across the country for a briefing on strike and picket rules before proceeding to picket at their workplaces.

On December 2 workers in Cape Town will march to the company's head office, and in Johannesburg they will march to a local store in the Johannesburg CBD, the union warned.

"Workers will then picket again on the December 3, after which an assessment will be conducted to decide on the way forward regarding the dispute," Saccawu said.
