NON PAYMENT OF STAFF

Good Day As a concerned dad I am shocked & saddened by the ignorance of companies & their ruthless exploitations of our youth & unemployed people in general. This is SLAVERY I am telling you. My son Justin starting working for J&M Cleaning Services also contracted to Woolworths Group of Companies. He worked as a replenished at Woolworths Hautboy for more than a month staring in October 2017; he worked the full month of November & did not get paid. After numerous attempts to their Head Office in Cape Town & travelling monies which my son did not have he was given the run around & excuses after excuses. Eventually his then manager Wendy Moses handed in a new timesheet & handed it to Winston another manager at Head offices & he was told it would be sorted. Needless to say it still is not sorted, I then took it upon myself to try & find out what is happening. I phoned the head office & spoke to lady named Fatima & we got cut off & upon trying to contact her again I was told she is in meetings every time I called. Well this prompted me to contact the owner Sharon Fortune & was told she is on leave & I requested the email address of the second in charge which is Chris Wickham MD of J&M Cleaning. He assured me that he submitted my query to the salaries director & that was 15th December 2017 7 up do date I have not heard from them since. He is now working at Woolworths Blue Route Mall & almost another month have passed & he is still awaiting his payment for day s worked in October & the month of November & December. Wednesday 20th 2017 my son went to the Head office again & were told they will sort his pay out.

This borders on slavery, my son now refuses to go back to work. How can these companies are allowed to exploit our kids & their circumstances (UNEMPLOYMENT) like this. Such UNSCRUPULOUS behaviour cannot be tolerated. How can Woolworths Group of Companies are using contractual companies like these that EXPLOIT our people. That is why we have such high crime 7 unemployment in our country.

Very concerned dad. Michael Cellular: ********** 714 Work : ********** 699
