Dana Spicer Axle begins section 189 retrenchments in NMB

Another heavy blow to the economy of the Eastern Cape, as another company in the automotive sector in Nelson Mandela Bay, Dana Spicer Axle, has began its Section 189 retrenchment process.

Disgruntled workers of the company embarked on a strike outside the company’s premises in Kariega.

The move comes as several automotive companies across the province continue to downscale operations.

Placing more workers at risk in a region already grappling with job losses and economic uncertainty.

Workers say unfair retrenchment processes and unreasonable conditions have led to the demonstration.

They say the company has opted to retrench workers with only a few years of service, instead of offering voluntary severance packages to long-serving employees.
