Medupi shut down due to strike action

Numsa members working at the Medupi power station in Lephalale, Limpopo, marched against Eskom demanding better working conditions, the union said Wednesday.

"We call on Eskom to respond to the demands of workers, the union's collective bargaining head steve Nhlapo said in the statement. The Numsa's Medupi members wanted retrenchment of workers to be halted with immediate effect and for completion bonuses to be given to all workers- not only to senior managers.

They also called for an end to workers being reportedly evicted from their subsidized accomodation based on their race."The failure by Eskom to respond to these genuie and legimate demands of workers will force the union to escalate its organisational muscle and power until these demands are met," Nhlapo said.

Medupi power station is a dry-cooled coal-fired power station being built by eskom near Liphalale in Limpopo, I think general workers  must be treated the same as senior managers because they are also humams and have families to take care of. What's your opinion good people?
