Makro parent Makro has deployed outsourced retail staff at Makro stores to ward off impacts of a strike by Saccawu.
Massmart has deployed outsourced retail staff at Makro stores that could be impacted by strike action from members of the South African Commercial, Catering, and Allied Workers Union .
Massmart senior vice president for corporate affairs, Brian Leroni, described Saccawu’s demands as “quite clearly unrealistic”. “This is in addition to the more than approximately 1,200 Makro employees who have resigned from the union to accept the company’s wage offer.”That represents about 37% of Makro’s total workforce of roughly 3,200 people, including those that are not Saccawu members.But Leroni rubbished that claim as “patently untrue” in response to a query from MyBroadband.
“That would have had the effect of increasing the percentage increase for lower-level staff at Massmart to between 6.5% and 7%.”He also pointed out that Saccawu’s demands would include manager-level employees.
