Graeme Hosken of the Durban, South Africa Daily News<\/em> reports on a strike over polygraph “testing.” This short article is cited here in full: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scores of Durban’s automatic teller machines (ATMs) and businesses are expected to run dry on Monday after Fidelity Cash Management Services (FCMS) employees went on strike over the weekend.<\/p>

The strike – which began on Saturday and is set to continue throughout the week and possibly into next week – is expected to affect hundreds of ATMs and businesses in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.<\/p>

The strike is over a compulsory polygraph test as well as, say workers, the fact that they are being forced to pay for cash boxes that are damaged during robberies.<\/p>

Strikers are demanding the polygraph tests, which have been conducted for the last eight years, be ended immediately.<\/p>

Rob Nimmo, operations director for FCMS, said on Saturday strikers demanded that management put a moratorium on the polygraph tests.<\/p>

“We obviously refused. The aim of the test, which is conducted in the event of an incident such as a robbery, is to prove the staff’s innocence and to clear their names. Not to prove their guilt,” he said.<\/p>

Nimmo said there was no substance to allegations that crews were being forced to pay for damaged cash boxes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
