Casual Workers Action Office organiser & former Luxor Paints worker, Joshua Hlungwani joins @ThorisoMaloka on the line.   Workers dismissed for carrying sticks during a strike must be reinstated, the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) ruled last week.In February 2018, 181 workers at Luxor Paints in Boksburg went on strike over transport and housing allowances, medical aid and job security. Just over a week into the strike, on 5 March, the scene turned ugly when private security was called in to stop the strike, allegedly shooting rubber bullets at workers. One person lost an eye. According to the order, Luxor Paints has to shell out close to R40-million in back pay by 1 February.
