Security guards are threatening to go on strike at the end of November, leaving public and private property unguarded, if their demands are not met by then. Unions organising the security sector held a joint media briefing in Windhoek today to discuss progress made in on-going negotiations for better wages. The General-Secretary of the Namibia Transport and Allied Workers Union, John Kwedhi, says Namibia should brace for an unprecedented nationwide strike if the employers and their clients fail to fairly compensate for the services provided by security guards. The employees are demanding salary increments, pension, housing and transport allowances. Kwedhi says the Security Association of Namibia and the trade unions reached a deadlock on the 10th of October month, after which a dispute of interest was declared. He says the three unions representing the security guards are going to embark on a peaceful demonstration in two-days to petition the office of the Labour Commissioner. Kwedhi said if their demands were not met after that demonstration, they would go on a nation-wide strike.
