The workers vowed to continue with their protest until their employer sits down with them at the negotiating table., Hixani Baloyi, blamed the strike on the government’s failure to negotiate with them. He said the government has been using employees to hide its failures, instead of fixing the real issues faced by employees.
“We are not surrendering or retreating, until then. When the employer calls us, it must be about 2022, once that has been resolved, we go to the demands of 2023,” Baloyi said.Justin Kupane, a patient at Helen Joseph Hospital, said he had to go back home without a doctor seeing him because of the strike.
