South Africa: Threats to boycott Woolies

Another racist company to boycott if you live in South Africa. Woolworths, which is ironically predominantly supported by White money, are advertising their jobs as being open only to Black, Coloured or Indian applicants - no Whites are allowed to apply. This isn't the only big company in South Africa wanting to 'transform' their employee demographic to a Black one - no, there are many of them. However, if the message starts getting out, and people start boycotting these businesses, then instead of having to fight physically, White people can start fighting with their wallets. And no weapon is more mightier in the long term than the almighty dollar. It's time for White consumers to demand to know employment preferences of businesses and stop buying from those who discriminate against them. By supporting their products and racist hiring policies White South Africans are financing their own elimination from society.

Johannesburg - Woolworths Holdings must open all job positions to all race groups or face action, Solidarity said on Tuesday. 

The trade union intended starting a campaign against the retailer if it did not change job advertisements on its website stating that only black, coloured and Indian candidates would be considered, deputy general secretary Dirk Hermann said. 

"Solidarity demands that the group amend the advertisements before noon on Wednesday... The Employment Equity Act does not make provision for the exclusion of any race as far as applications are concerned." 

Woolworths denied claims that it was reserving all jobs for designated groups - blacks, coloureds, Indians, women, and people with disabilities. 

"The Employment Equity Act expects all South African companies with more than 50 employees to plan our workforce by race, gender and disability," the company said in a statement.
