EMPLOYEES of the National rail company, TransNamib are expected to vote on whether to strike or not, as they are set to have engage on a secret ballot, on the 12 August 2022.
This comes just as the country received the National civil servants ballot from all regions which indicated that 42 216 of civil servants voted in favour for striking whilst 1 232 were against the strike.
In the TransNamib matter, High Court Judge George Coleman stated that TransNamib and the Namibia Transport and Allied workers Union (NATAU) reached an agreement.
As such the court decided to dispose of TransNamibs urgent application which retrained workers from striking on Monday, 18 July 2022.
However, in the new court order, TransNamib workers are set to hold a secret ballot on 12 August supervised by NATAU.
Should the majority of TransNamib employees with the bargaining unit have voted in favour for embarking on industrial action, then NATAU shall issue a notice within 48 hours of the ballot results having become known.
