Cape Town - The Cosatu-affiliated Southern African Clothing & Textile Workers’ Union (Sactwu) has set itself a target to obtain a strike ballot of 40 000 clothing workers over a three week period.
This relates to union's unresolved wage negotiations in the clothing industry.
"We have now reached our target," said André Kriel, general secretary of Sactwu in a statement issued on Thursday afternoon.
"As at lunchtime today, 40 0026 workers were balloted in 391 clothing factories nationally."
Strike ballot counting has already commenced in the Western Cape, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape. It will commence in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday.
Of the 8 438 votes counted to date in the Western Cape 85.72% are in favour of strike action, he said.
