The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) is expected to march to the National Treasury in Pretoria on Friday.
The union is demanding government stop conducting business with private security companies that are reportedly not complying with collective agreements.
Numsa’s Spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola says it’s a disgrace that workers in the security sector must protest for what is lawfully and rightfully theirs.
Hlubi-Majola revealed that security companies are defrauding workers by deducting money for medical insurance and pension fund, but not paying it over to the service provider.
Hlubi-Majola says they will be handing over a memorandum of demands, emphasising that security companies are defrauding workers by deducting for medical insurance and pension fund but not paying it over to the service provider.
“This means that when workers have to claim for medical insurance or pension fund, there are not enough funds or no funds at all. Numsa is taking this issue to the National Treasury because it has the power to revoke these contracts, and blacklist companies that are failing to comply. There are a number of companies that are not complying with the National Bargaining Council for the Private Security Sector,” says Hlubi-Majola.
NUMSA will march to the offices of @TreasuryRSA on Friday 30 October to demand that it blacklists non-compliant security companies. Details below 👇🏾 #ForTheLoveofTheWorkingClass #WorkersUnite pic.twitter.com/xXvHqM1Cgf
