dischemClose to 2 000 SACCAWU members at more than forty Dis-Chem Pharmacies nationwide have been on strike since the 27th of May. For some time now Dis-Chem has consistently demonstrated a hostility towards its employees joining SACCAWU and actively participating in union activities. The media have failed to cover the ongoing action of workers and  SACCAWU have written an open letter to the media. With increased profits of more than 7%, workers are demanding a R3500-00 minimum wage, 15% across the board increase,  conversion of casuals to permanent after three months, a guaranteed 13th cheque, and parental rights, medical aid, transport allowance and improvement of other benefits. See a full briefing on the strike here.
