The Revolutionary Union (RU) has made allegations against Rent-a-Drum management, claiming that workers were being retrenched in retaliation for joining the union in Swakopmund.

However, Johan Louw, the Regional Manager of Rent-a-Drum, has denied these allegations. According to him, the retrenchments are a result of a decrease in revenue and are not related to union membership.

Close to 20 workers at Rent-a-Drum Swakopmund were informed that they would be retrenched.

The workers employed at this recycling company are not happy with the decision.
