# Union federation COSATU has applauded its affiliate, the South African Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers Union, for its victory with Pick n Pay. This follows the retailer’s decision to withdraw its Section 189A restructuring and retrenchment consultation process after reaching a collective agreement with SACCAWU. At least 22-thousand workers would have been affected. COSATU’s spokesperson Zanele Sabela says this victory serves as a reminder to employers that decisions affecting workers’ livelihoods cannot simply be imposed without meaningful engagement and accountability:
