As the Gold Reef City Casino and Theme Park worker protest enters its second month, concerns are mounting over the alleged hiring of contract workers while permanent staff remain in limbo.
Some employees are reported to be in dire financial trouble after their salaries were not paid in May, while others revealed that their salaries were paid partially.
The protest action, which has seen workers picket outside the theme park since April 25 continues unabated more than a month after the failed negotiations.
On Monday, as workers returned to the picket lines, Transport, Retail and General Workers Union (THORN) union organiser, Lindokuhle Khanyile, accused Gold Reef City management of negotiating in bad faith.
