Workers at Core Group (technology and computer sales) have downed tools this morning and are on a protected strike after wage negotiations deadlocked and conciliation at the CCMA failed.
The strike is currently taking place at Block B, Geertsema Road, Jet Park, Boksburg, Gauteng.
The 80 workers, all working in the warehouse, demand an R1700 per month wage increase across the board, a guaranteed 13th cheque, and a 10% provident fund contribution by the employer.
The workers have also given the employer the option of structuring this as an R2000 per month wage increase across the board, a guaranteed 13th cheque plus a 5% contribution to a provident fund, or an R2500 wage increase per month across the board.
