RD Tuna Security Force Women Inside RD Plant

Monday evening saw the night shift at RD Tuna support the day shift workers in calling for the the fair minimum wage of K2.29 per hour which RD has so far failed to pay their workers. Provincial Labor Officer Peter Neimani told the RD workers last week that indeed RD was in violation of the law by now paying the workers the K2.29 minimum wage. Neimani says RD must back pay the workers from 21 January to present.

The RD workers are also calling for the reinstatement of 489 workers who were under "Preventive Suspension". The 489 had there ID cards taken by RD security for no complaining that the minimum wage of K2.29 was not in their pay packets last week. RD once again lied saying the workers were not producing so they were being sacked.

Monday morning saw the workers walk out of RD in support of their fellow workers on the day shift. Night shift workers also supported the workers by not coming to work. A few of the workers did show up but decided NOT to go inside the plant. This upset Paul Vingu the RD Security Manager who forced the women to go inside the plant. As the women were forced in the plant - RD male RD workers were yelling at Vingu and the security team. A frightened Vingu called the police to come to RD. As the police arrived RD workers fled.

So this is what it comes to huh Pete Celso. Don't pay people their RIGHTFUL Minimum Wage, try to sack those who demand what is LEGALLY theirs, and have your cowardly Security Manager FORCE women in the plant.

Mr. Celso must be feeling quite proud of himself these days.

To the workers of RD FULL SUPPORT. Continue to Stand Up For Your Rights..

Empty RD Vehicles Bringing In Night Shift Workers Were Almost Empty as can be seen from the picture below:
