The National Union of Mineworkers said in statement Monday that it had won the case against the South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors (SAFCEC), which had last week asked the court to prevent the union from striking.
"Employers must expect no mercy from us, they must deliver 13 percent or we will strike until 2011," Bhekani Ngcobo, the NUM’s Negotiator at SAFCEC, said.
World Cup organizers said last week they would meet trade union officials to try to ensure a strike does not delay completion of stadiums beyond target but would not interfere in workers’ democratic rights to strike.
Officials have said previously that the ten stadiums for the World Cup, half of them new, will be delivered on target by December, although there have been some reports that the Green Point venue in Cape Town may be delayed into next year.a
After the collapse of prolonged negotiations with the employers’ organisation, NUM called the strike to support its demand for a 13 percent wage increase. The employers have refused to go beyond 10 percent
