Join the Strike Fund!

CLEANING WORKERS STRIKE FUND


WITS STAFF, SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR STRIKING CLEANING WORKERS ON OUR CAMPUS!


On Monday the 8th of August Wits cleaning staff, as part of a nationwide strike, will be demanding a living wage of R4300 a month.

The Wits Workers' Solidarity Committee supports the strike of cleaning staff, and is appealing for contributions towards a strike fund that can assist striking workers and families for incomes lost during the strike action.

A strike fund committee, consisting of democratically elected representatives of workers, staff and students has been established, which will collect all monies with transparent record-keeping, and distribute the funds to workers based on democratic and transparent principles decided on by workers themselves.


** To make a contribution to the strike fund, staff should contact Ingrid.Chunilall@wits.ac.za **

Any and all contributions are welcome. No amount is too small. Workers and their families can use every cent of assistance we can spare


* To become a volunteer to collect contributions in your building, please contact wsc.wits@gmail.com *
