DURBAN - LEADING funeral parlour associations have distanced themselves from the planned strike action by some unhappy operators in Gauteng, saying they would rather engage the government than embark on a strike.
As fears mount that the strike led by Unification Task Team (UTT) over a range of complaints â such as the demand for the issuing of a certificate of competence â could spread to other parts of South Africa, including KwaZulu-Natal, two prominent groups have distanced themselves from the action.
