Protest action hit the Cell C head office campus in Woodmead, Johannesburg on Tuesday as unionised workers picketed over bonuses.

Workers danced and sang outside the sprawling office facility in what has so far been a peaceful protest.

“Cell C confirms that employees who belong to the Information Communication Technology Union (ICTU) have embarked on industrial action,” the operator said in a statement.

It said the industrial action relates to bonus payments made in 2018 for work-related performance in 2017.

“Cell C is engaging with the ICTU leadership and its members to work towards a positive outcome,” it said.

“Plans to minimise disruptions to both Cell C’s business and its service to customers are in place. As a business, Cell C respects the rights of its unionised employees to take part in a peaceful strike.”  — © 2019 NewsCentral Media
