SATAWU, 19 August 2006
=Secondary strikes for Cleaning sector=

The latest round of negotiations between SATAWU and the Cleaning Sector employers failed to bring a breakthrough this week. SATAWU and the other 15 unions have been left with no option but to escalate their action following the strike that started on the 1st of August. From next week the programme is as follows:

1. on **Wednesday** 23.08.2006, there will be demonstrations at all international airports, including Johannesburg International, Cape Town International, Port Elizabeth etc.

2. **Thursday** 24th August; pickets will be held at selected private hospitals nationally.

3. **Friday** 25th the same will be held at selected Shopping Malls.

We are also calling on sympathy strikes from our KZN counterparts in the cleaning sector. They are currently not on strike because they have a separate bargaining forum; we have called on other sectors within SATAWU to support this action. These include the security sector.
