NWC Strike - No Water Coming!

Granville Valentine
General Secretary of the NWU


I am getting a report from a trusted source that there is industrial action at the National Water Commission. The information that I am getting is that the workers are having challenges with govt over the non approval of long outstanding reclassification of jobs/positions.

The government needs to take action to secure NWC facilities by getting the army out to assist NOW!

Helen Davies-Whyte
General Secretary of (JALGO), ...
This action will not go down well with consumers considering that many were not aware of the challenge the workers were having and the workers did not indicate that they had planned to take strike action.

It is my understanding that the NWC is an essential service so this strike could be seen as illegal.

I am hoping to hear from trade unionists Granville Valentine - General Secretary of the NWU,  and Helen Davies-Whyte - General Secretary of JALGO. If you are having water problems in you area or you see persons tampering with NWC installation then send me a text message to 876 816-5264 with a report.

  3. This is illegal because NWC is an essential service. Let the army take over and deduct salary from NWC workers each day that they are not doing the work.
