Elaine, The news report - All this sounds like SA in the 70's and 80's.Though it doesn't mean that we are not losing jobs, as you will learn for your self when you come. Additional requests: - Enoch Godongwana , Numsa General Secretary , asked if you could get him a copy of David Weals book on Trade union management, the one that he developed on the HTUP course. Also if it is possible to get Sam Bowles text on Economics ( Sam knows him personally and may be able to send a copy down to you). - Mary Tiseo ( of Freesa 617 - 2768333) has comix books for our kids. If possible to get this from her please bring them along. Some information. I will be leaving Numsa at the end of this month to take on a job with the new labour education and training institute that COSATU and other federations have set up. Two of us from the affiliate unions have been appointed to set up the institute ( called DITSELA) and define its programme. So there is much that I will want to consult you on. Talk to you later. Bobby.
