EFF visits Pharmacy Direct after CEO Gavie Erasmus refused to pay workers

Gavie Erasmus, the CEO of Pharmacy Direct, was approached by his employees to demand their (TERF Temporary Employer Relief Scheme) money but he gave them harsh ultimatum to either go back to work or leave.

The EFF has issued a statement:

CIC JULIUS MALEMA WILL VISIT PHARMACY DIRECT TOMORROW, 04 NOVEMBER 2020

Tuesday, 03 November 2020

The Commander-in-Chief and President Julius Malema together with the EFF Leadership will pay the CEO of Pharmacy Direct Gavie Erasmus a special visit. Pharmacy Direct has not paid its employees the Temporary Employer Relief Scheme (TERS) which was initiated through the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) to aid employers in providing wage benefits to employees as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the Racist Gavie Erasmus was approached by his employees in a protest in order to resolve the matter amicably; he displayed absolute white arrogance and even gave the employees a harsh ultimatum to either go back to work or leave refusing all accountability. Because in his racist mind how dare blacks hold him accountable in his company? They must just do what they are good at; that is to work or leave. After all, in his mind, he is doing them a favour by employing them.

Tomorrow the EFF will directly confront Gavie Erasmus, we can no longer allow white minorities to continue to arrogantly oppress black workers using the entrenched structural inequalities to undermine the genuine struggle of workers.

We reiterate our call on all companies that have claimed the Unemployment Insurance Funds for their employees to immediately pay workers what is due to them. Otherwise, they too shall receive a warm special visit from the EFF.

The EFF visit to Pharmacy Direct is part of a commitment to organise mass actions against all companies that have claimed the UIF from the State and still have not paid the workers.
