Truck drivers’ activist group set for march in KZN and Gauteng on Monday

A truck drivers’ activist group will lead a march in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal on Monday morning.

Drivers linked to the organization All Truck Drivers Forum went on strike over the employment of foreign nationals in the sector.

The All Truck Drivers Forum‘s secretary Sifiso Nyathi said that among the grievances to be submitted in a memorandum of demands were calls not to register foreign nationals under the bargaining council as well as a 15% salary increase.

“They mustn’t register any foreigner there and we want a 15% increase or at least 10% if we come to an amicable solution. We don’t want a camera inside the truck because we’re not sleeping inside a hotel, we sleep inside the truck, so where’s the privacy there for drivers?” Nyathi explained.

The organization claims that foreign nationals were being given preference.
