POPCRU PRESS RELEASE
=POPCRU marches to the Department of Transport=


 * For immediate release**

POPCRU shall embark on a national march to the Department of Transport on Friday, the 08th September. This decision has been prompted by the stiff-necked attitude of the management of the Cross Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA), which refuses to give our members the salary increment as per the initial agreement. After all the attempts to impress upon the CBRTA management to heed our reasonable demand, we have been left with no other option but to embark on this action that shall consequently bring our plight to the attention of the Department of Transport on whose behalf the CBRTA is carrying out the business.

This is a situation that we do not seek but equally it is a situation from which we cannot shrink. We are convinced as an organisation that taking our plight to the attention of the Department of Transport after all other approaches have not yielded the desired results. We remain of the firm view that the department shall do the honourable thing to intervene on this issue as a matter of urgency.

Our marchers who are expected to be above one thousand shall converge at the CBRTA offices, which are at the corner of Schubard and Proes streets in Pretoria at 10H00 on the 8th September.

Led by the national leadership of POPCRU, the marchers shall proceed to the Head Office of the Department of Transport, which is at corner Struben and Borman.
