Izwe lethu M'Afrika Masoga In reality NACTU operates like FEDUSA, it is interesting to hear that NACTU and SACWU operates on the PRINCIPLE OF WORKER CONTROL because by the look of things it looks like this WORKER CONTROL PRINCIPLE is on paper. Is NACTU having a Central Committee because if NACTU operates according to the principle of WORKER CONTROL workers in affiliates should be involved in driving the affairs of the Federation NACTU through Provincial and Regional Committees of NACTU. If workers are involved, we know workers demand political change, why is NACTU silent on everything happening in the country?
Under Cunningham Ngcukana and James Mdlalose NACTU was militant and able to articulate progressive policy positions but ever since Cunningham left NACTU is just a disaster with only one administrator in a small head office as the only employee, the question is where is monthly workers subscriptions paid to NACTU going? In the Chemical, Petroleum and FMCG industries SACWU is known as a strike breaker and a sweetheart of employer! Are you also aware that SACWU lost more than 500 members in Twickenham next to Burgersfort and also Supreme Spring SACWU lost more than 700 members because of poor service and refusal (and suppression) to go on strike as demanded by workers. AT AEL not far from Tembisa SACWU members are resigning joining CEPPWAWU and GIWUSA reason being poor service. In Secunda there are so many workers under labour brokers what has SACWU done nothing organise and fight against labour brokers. Is SACWU President and NOBs PAC members? if yes what is their problem? We do not even know who is the GS of SACWU or President? Lastly is SACWU going to support and campaign for PAC next year 2014 elections? what is SACWU's position on the issue of aligning and support PAC in both material and non-material terms?
