Fishing companies in Namibia have won a partial victory after taking a number of employees to court over strike actions, reported All Africa.

A judge granted 12 fishing companies an interdict in their favor, which demands strikers are to refrain from inciting or intimidating fellow workers not to work.

Declining to call the work stoppage of about 832 seafaring employees an unlawful strike, the judge, however, did grant the fishing companies some relief.

The companies that brought the urgent application against the workers are Hangana Seafood, Overberg Fishing, Rainbow Trawling, Ekikimbo Trawling, Embwiinda Fishing, Tunacor Fisheries, Corvima Fishing Company, Beluga Fishing Company, Novanam Ltd, the Namibian government-owned Seaflower Whitefish Corporation, Seacope Freezer Fishing and Benguela Sea Products.
