Labour struggles have been a central issue in 2020 as retrenchments and strikes surged amid Covid-19 infections and deaths. Three unions representing frontline workers have called for an urgent intervention by employers. 
The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu), the Democratic Municipal and Allied Workers Union of South Africa (Demawusa) and the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) have called on the government to employ community health workers, who work on outsourced one-year contracts, and casual municipal workers on a permanent basis.
