Workers tell Buwa Basebetsi that the employer does not treat them like human beings
The Mister Sweet strike is in its fourth week and is taking its toll on striking workers. From the 19th of August workers have been demanding R19 500 as their basic salary, but their employer is sticking to their 7% increase across the board. This is despite Mister Sweet being owned by Premier FMCG which last year declared just over a 23% increase in revenue.
