FAWU on Strike at SAB Miller South African Soft Drinks Three thousand members of South Africa's FAWU have been on strike at SAB Miller's ABI Soft Drinks Division since December 22. The union is demanding better wages, fair overtime payment for Saturday work and an end to the further use of labour brokers and the "Driver-Owner Schemes" which convert lorry drivers into "independent" owner operators and their crews into casual workers without working conditions or job security. The company has chosen confrontation over negotiation, preferring allegations of worker violence to constructive negotiations. The union has won strong support for their struggle inside South AFrica - and is now asking for international solidarity.
