I do not know where to start chief as you asked a question and you jumped to other issues,
Workers do have a right to strike based on the dispute striking for and you have to get a certificate for that through the LRA channels and housing subsidy you can strike for it as it is part of your earnings. The working class is trapped as we so not qualify for subsidy from goverment due to salary bracket and would like to urge the trade unions through the federation to come up with a housing co-operative or housing scheme for workers as we know that most of the unions do have the investment companies, we could also get low interest rate credit from the banks if we could use our pension/ provident fund as collateral. In other countries receptionists/ clerks are regarded as essential job but here in South Africa that is not the case an issential job is the job that could compromise the safety, health security or safety of people and these people could only be active in the marches outside their working hours in terms of the law. I would like to support you on the issue of media of the working class and the poor as we do not get enough coverage from the capitalist media and they are bias in terms of showing our activities On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 1:23 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am asking this question,because yesterday when National Union of > Mineworkers,Energy Sector woorkers under the Leadership of Comrade Job > Matsepe handed memorandum to Eskom Management,it was deemed illegal by the > Courts of South Africa. > The poor workers are deemed essential while their salaries is not > essential.How can you say a clerk doing adminstration work as essential > job,yes they are important on day to day running of a certain department > by not essential.In the absent of no agreement workers cannot be > essential.Workers are leaving in sub standards housing and do not qualify > for RDP house,on the other cannot be granted loans by banks,because their > salary bracket is very low.These workers are caught in between the rhino > horns. > > Media also play a role in misinforming the public about real issues,well > done once more to them.Workers need to have their own TV and Radio channel > to engage robustly on issues affecting them. > > I am of the view that NUM support the World Cup,hence all stadia completed > on time,but workers rights cannot be compomised due to the World > Cup.Workers want to see the successful games,hence boosting confidence to > investers. > > Aluta continua > > Cde Ashley Tsineng > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > South Africa's premier free email service - www.webmail.co.za > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > For super low premiums, click here http://home.webmail.co.za/dd.pwm > > -- > You are subscribed.
