South African petrochemical giant Sasol saw a brief protest take place at its Sasolburg facility. According to media reports out of the country, an estimated 100 workers from South Africa’s mainly white Solidarity union staged a brief protest over a share scheme that was offered exclusively to the company’s black staff.
Union leaders claim the share scheme is discriminatory because it excludes white workers. A memorandum criticizing the plan was handed over to Sasol’s managers at Sasolburg, a Reuters report said.
“What this scheme does, is to divide workers simply on the basis of race,” Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Solidarity trade union, told the workers. “We want a future of inclusion and not a future of exclusion.”
