Poultry industry to mark ‘day of misery’ with protest march against EU imports

The Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) will, on Wednesday, hold a protest march in Pretoria against the dumping of chicken in South Africa by European Union (EU) countries. This is in response to 1 350 employees losing their jobs after packaged goods and milling company RCL Foods, formerly Rainbow Chicken, had to impose cutbacks at its Hammarsdale, KwaZulu-Natal, plant, which will take effect on Tuesday.
