Comrades, We must think of ways to give practical & tangible support. This strike is shaping up to be bigger & longer than the month-long public service strike of 2007.
Most public service unions do not have strike funds. MDM formations must discuss how we can support the striking workers who will suffer the 'no work no pay' rule. An injury to one is an injury to all!

We have thousands of teachers and doctors in the public sector of which commit themselves to their work despite resource constraints in their working environment. The government adhered to FIFA demands of which some have left us in long-term debts, without hesitation. The very same vigour should apply in addressing worker demands. This also speaks to our priorities in terms of service delivery. We need a committed and dedicated work force in the public sector and that can only be attained provided that working conditions and salaries are improved. We continuously see CEO's of parastatals and senior government official's salaries unjustifiably inflated and questionable bonuses being given to some of them. If government can pay golden handshakes for under performance then equally wages should be increased for deserving workers who are mostly at the forefront in providing service delivery to our people. We fully support the strike and condemn any opportunistic lash against teachers embarking on a strike, as they are also workers entitled to exercise the same rights as any other worker in South Africa in demanding a decent living wage. *Issued by the YCLSA Head office * * * *Contact Gugu Ndima* * * *National Spokesperson* * * *076 783 1516* -- You are subscribed.
