Unions warn SABC: You retrench, we shut you down
19 November 2018
Unions are threatening to strike until the SABC addresses their concerns, including doing away with retrenchments.
The Communications Workers Union said on Sunday it will "shut down the corporation".
CWU secretary general Aubrey Tshabalala said during a recent picket at the SABC headquarters in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, that the broadcaster was given until Friday to respond to grievances the unions have handed over to SABC management, but they had received no response.
"I have checked my emails, and there has been no revert... we will now receive a mandate from the workers on what should happen next", Tshabalala told News24.
