Stop the madness!

Last week, about 400 workers at African Copper’s Mowana Mine had their future thrown into a spin, after the employer told them of an impending liquidation application in the High Court.

In February, close to 830 of their colleagues at Boseto Mine were rendered jobless in one fell swoop after the operation went into liquidation due to viability issues.In the country’s factories, industrial class workers are systematically stripped of their already weakened bargaining strength by overlords empowered by skewed labour laws on their side.
