Two clothing employers were arrested yesterday, after allegedly threatening striking clothing workers by pointing rifles at them, most of whom are women workers, their union says
The SA Clothing & Textile Workers' Union said in a statement the incident happened in QwaQwa in the Free State.
Sactwu said its local organiser in the area, Christopher Soetsane, immediately reported the matter to the police.
"The police responded very quickly and took firm action. We compliment them for that."
The workers are members of the union.
Sactwu said they are on a protected strike for higher wages. The strike started yesterday.

Not the right way of doing things, mr/Mrs Boss. Because so many strikes at the moment are unprecedently violent, does NOT make it ok to respond in the same barbaric manner.Report Abuse
