Cosatu to host national strike tomorrow
Trade union federation Cosatu says its expecting tens of thousands of workers to join the national strike tomorrow which coincides with World Day For Decent Work.
Cosatu's called the strike to highlight a wide range of issues but primarily the focus will be on job losses.
National spokesperson, Sizwe Pamla, says Cosatu wants an urgent special summit to be called in a bid to stem the tide.
"If we do fail to keep up with the demands, the government should realise that are people have run out of patience are not prepared to wait anymore. They are people who don't want to see that kind of impatience spill out onto the streets.
"We are sending a warning to big business and government to say this is unsustainable and intolerable," he said.
