Cape Town - Unions representing retail workers have lambasted several leading retailers for placing profits before employees’ health as the number of staff in South African stores being infected with the coronavirus continues to rise.
“We have since in Western Cape seen the highest level of disregard of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown measurements. “We also noted the untimely death of one worker in Delft as a result of this pandemic,” Tsubane said. John Bradshaw, executive of marketing for Pick n Pay, said the health and safety of customers and staff remained a priority.
Shoprite, in its response, said the well-being and health of its employees, customers and communities remained of paramount importance, and “the group would continue to do everything it could to protect them”.
