The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa KwaZulu-Natal has urged chemical manufacturer Foskor to meets the demands of workers who have been on strike for more than a week. “The management is refusing to engage workers, instead, they keep rushing to court in an attempt to block the strike,” Numsa regional secretary Mbuso Ngubane said. “On Tuesday the labour court finally ruled in our favour by rejecting an application to interdict the strike. This is a legally protected strike for all workers at Foskor.”
