Striking Clover workers flocked the main entrance at the head office. Clad in their red union T-shirts, they picketed and sang while heavily armed security guards manned the gates and police vans parked on the side of the road.
Clover says the decision to close some of its factories was approved by the Competition Commission in 2019. This was before the merger with Milco, a subsidiary of the Israeli Central Bottling Company, which bought a 60% stake in the company in 2019.
