Fellow comrades As ordinary workers serving as members of NACTU trade unions we find ourselves dragged in meetings and caucuses which we believe undermines our trade unions and federation -NACTU Constitution. During the past weekend we received sms's from Cde Maqhekeni encouraging trade unions affiliated to NACTU to write and send letters that support him to continue as the President of NACTU. We believe Cde Maqhekeni must be uphold and respect NACTU trade union, and become an examplary leader.
This is how we understand the situation, Cde Maqhekeni can continue as NACTU President if, he remains a paid member of SACWU; 2. He remains a shopsteward of SACWU; But, it is common knowledge that Cde Maqhekeni has reached retirement age and has taken pension, this implies he no longer a qualiified SACWU member and he has been or to be replaced as a shopstwward he cannot serve as a President of NACTU. And standard practices is only trade union officials can be elected to serve as Secrtary Generals of the trade unions and/or NACTU, Cde Maqhekeni does not qualify to be elected and serve as NACTU Secretary General, we believe deep in his heart and conscience the comrade (Maqhekeni) knows this very well. COSATU is falling apart because of national office bearers who serves their own interests and have forgotten about suffering black workers, NACTU should not make the same mistake. As workers we appeal with Cde Mahqekeni not to throw our trade unions federation into a crisis. As workers we are grateful of years Cde Maqhekeni served as NACTU President and we wish well. NACTU requires new young blood of leadership which will bring new ideas and methods to fight capitalist exploitation at workplaces such as higher retrenchments, labour brokers, reject minimum wage of NEDLAC. As NACTU we must become active in outsourcing must fall campaigns and fees must fall campaigns etc. Mayibuye-Izwe Lethu, Amandla T Ndima (shopsteward) -- -- Sending your posting to payco@googlegroups.com Unsubscribe by sending an email to payco-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com You can also visit http://groups.google.com/group/payco Visit our website at www.mayihlome.wordpress.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pan Africanist Youth Congress" group.
