Seifsa and Neasa in war of words as metals sector strike looms

The Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) has described suggestions that it is only representing the interests of large employers in the metals and engineering sector as malicious “propaganda”, arguing that it “fights hard” to represent both small and big companies. Seifsa was responding to a statement, titled ‘Exposing Seifsa’, in which the National Employers’ Association of South Africa (Neasa) accused the federation of having caused “untold hardship – in terms of business closures and job losses”.
