The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union Popcru has demanded that management of the Baviaanspoort Correctional Centre in Pretoria withdraw the newly implemented shift changes pending a proper dispute resolution process.
On Tuesday, union members staged a protest after accusing the prisons management of victimising and unlawfully suspending union representatives.
The union is also demanding the immediate release of arrested members, an end to intimidation of workers and the reinstatement of its chairperson.
