Description: A call for solidarity following the dismissal of 270 NUMSA members by German multi-national Karl Schmidt on July 22, 1987. The conflict began with the dismissal of three shop stewards for organising a meeting regarding the May 5-6 stayaway (protesting "white" elections and the SARHWU killings). Management's refusal to arbitrate or allow a legal strike ballot led to mass dismissals of both night and day shifts while workers waited for management engagement.
