Fed-up workers seize MPL diner By ASANDA NINI Bhisho staff won’t accept the scraps. (Tell us what you think, Bhisho workers dine in prefab, while MPLs eat in luxury.) HUNDREDS of workers at the Bhisho legislature “invaded” the “upmarket” dining hall used by MPLs and senior legislature administrators yesterday. They demanded an upgrade of their prefab dining hall and the same meals, furniture and utensils as their bosses enjoyed. Union leader Branton Jonas said the workers were tired of having their meals at a “ghosthouse park-home dining hall” with only one table and a few chairs. Decent cutlery was so rare that workers had to fight over the few items they could find. This is in contrast to the dining hall used by MPLs and administration bosses, where meals are served on imported crockery and eaten with silver cutlery. The more than 200 employees have to eat their meals on paper plates with plastic knives and forks. More via Dispatch Live. White building structure: Bhisho workers’ diner. INVASION: MPLs and legislature employees yesterday shared a dining hall after the workers invaded the members hall in protest over poor conditions in their outside dining hall.
