Post Office strike going ahead, says union
4 May 2016
Johannesburg - Postal services in South Africa risk being disrupted later this week as a union says nationwide strike action is going ahead.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) last week threatened to strike on May 5-6 to demand higher annual pay rises for South African Post Office (Sapo) staff.
CWU is also calling for the conversion of casual Sapo workers to permanent employees.
"It's happening and we're having a press conference in the morning (Thursday, May 5),” CWU president Clyde Mervin told Fin24 by phone on Wednesday morning.
