SA Steel Mill workers plead for rescue plan to be finalised after months without pay

JOHANNESBURG - SA Steel Mill’s employees have called for the industrial development corporation to conclude the over-year-long business rescue that has left them with no pay.

Frustrated workers took to the streets on Friday to hand over a second memorandum of demands to the corporation.

Since the company went under rescue, it has requested an expression of interest from a potential buyer.

Employee Lehlohonolo Seleke said they need a company that will prioritise their interest.

"So we are hoping that, because after we have read that business that was published, we are hoping that IEDC will agree with workers, to say we will support whoever says he's going to save the jobs of workers and return the workers back to work,” said Seleke.
