Fresh factory strike looms
MASERU – SIX trade unions say they will down tools next Friday to press Labour Minister Moshe Leoma to gazette a new minimum wage for factory workers.
The strike will be a follow-up to one they held two weeks ago in the Thetsane Industrial Area where three workers were shot and injured by the riot police.
The unions say they will petition Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro and Leoma to address their grievances.
Speaking at a press conference in Maseru on Tuesday, , who is the Secretary General of the National Clothing Textile and Allied Workers Union (NACTWU), said they will not back off until their grievances are addressed.
