I think cadre another aspect we should not undermine is the issue of Labour brokers.
They continue to dislodge unions and the ability of workers to organise. In most sectors, labour brokers are the source of placing workers and this unfortunately limits or prohibits a number of young workers to join progressive unions. Its mainly young workers that become permanent casualties in the workplace due to the usage of Labour brokers. Its important that we collectively re-energise our campaign to ban them. Regulations is a simplistic and futile deviation from the actual problem. Cde.
