The Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) on Friday promised to continue mass protests against poultry imports in 2017, dismissing a recent import tariff hike as being too little, too late.
Fawu national secretary Katisha Masemola said in a statement released on Friday that it welcomed a recently gazetted 13.9% safeguard duty on imports of bone-in chicken (chicken thighs and drumsticks) on imports from the EU and the UK.
