In this episode of our Buwa Basebetsi Update we bring you the latest news on the current protest taking place at Mr Sweet in Wadeville
The Simunye Workers Forum union has defeated Mister Sweet's attempts to bring an interdict against the strike at its factory in Johannesburg which began on 19 August.
Johannesburg Labour Court judge J Daniels recently ruled that the employer was unable to show any link between the alleged violence they complained of and the strikers. Therefore the company was not entitled to interdict the strike or the strikers.
Judge Daniels also acknowledged that the strike was a lawful and protected strike.
