Striking Robben Island workers lower wage demands

According to Dede Ntsoelengoe, branch chairman of the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union, management at Robben Island Museum will effectively have 11 months to work out what days workers will be allowed to have off during the festive season next year.

According to the IOL report, Robben Island Museum's chief executive Sibongiseni Mkhize says that the union has not tabled its demands and until it does, he would not be able to comment on the revised offer.

On Saturday last week, striking workers invaded a ferry at Cape Town's harbour and interfered with its operation. Mkhize says that a complaint has been lodged with the police.
