Numsa vows ‘to pursue other avenues’ as BMW interdicts strike
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) has vowed to continue supporting its members at BMW South Africa after the company obtained an interdict against a strike.
“We will do everything in our power to defend their right to strike,” the union’s Phakamile Hlubi-Majola said on Monday.
She said thousands of workers demonstrated against BMW, which its claims unilaterally changed their service agreements.
Members are also protesting against night shift allowance, which dropped by 5%.
“We will be pursuing other avenues to ensure that our members will be able to legally embark on this strike again soon.”
