The Congress of South African Trade Unions invites all members of the media to a media briefing on Thursday, the 18th of August 2022, to officially announce a planned National Strike for the 24th of August 2022, next week. The National Strike is in response to the ongoing loadshedding, fuel price hikes and escalating food prices. This socio-economic strike also represents a push back and a response by the workers to the ongoing class warfare directed at them by both public and private sector employers.

•    Time          :         11h00
