Saftu to intensify boycott Clover campaign

Reading Time: 2 minutes
The South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) says it intends to intensify the boycott Clover campaign amid the continuing strike that has seen the company interdict striking workers, citing violence, destruction of property and intimidation.
The strike has been continuing for 10 weeks.

Unions are calling for a boycott of the company’s products for embarking on a restructuring process and cutting jobs.

The demonstrations are taking place across the country, including Cape Town and Johannesburg.

General secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says government is a critical stakeholder and needs to help bring the strike to an end.

“The strike has a devastating impact on the image of South Africa, here and abroad. Workers are making supreme sacrifices, we are convening a meeting on Tuesday, of all the people who are sympathetic to the cause, and who reject the presence of the Israeli company that is operating from the occupied territory of the Palestinian people.”
