Comrades
1. Firstly let me applaud SAMWU for coming out without fear or favour in defence of its membership and the Working Class. The below statement by SADTU clearly indicate the effects of Trade Union bureaucracy and the pure embrace of capitalism. This labour bureaucrats do their level best in words and deeds to demonstrate to the so called democratic state how reliable and indispensable they are in peacetime and especially in time of war with capitalists. They continue to seasonally transform unions into organs of the state. 2. Failing to provide proper analysis of foreign imperialist which dominates our National State and insofar as it is able, with the assistance of internal reactionary forces against revolutionaries and replace them with outright fascist dictatorship. In this epoch one can draw conclusion that trade unions cease to be trade unions in the current juncture. 3. In the absence of workers democracy there cannot be any free struggle for influence over trade union membership as it has been done currently. And because of this, the chief arena of work for revolutionists within the trade unions disappears. The primary slogan for this struggle should remain as a complete and unconditional independence of the trade unions in relation to capitalist state and profoundly opposed to labour aristocracy employed by SADTU bureaucrats.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dominic Tweedie Sent: 11 March 2011 11:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] SADTU: Racism has no place in SADTU SADTU Media Statement, 11 March 2011 Racism has no place in SADTU SADTU wishes to distance itself from utterances allegedly made by Johannesburg Central Chairperson Moss Senye at a meeting in Soweto yesterday. According to media reports, Senye allegedly called Gauteng Education MEC Barbara Creecy a satanist and urged members not to align themselves with whites because they would be tainted with satanism. If such a statement was made, it is indeed, highly regrettable. SADTU is a non-racial organization and would therefore not advocate for any of its members to distance themselves from any racial grouping. Racism has no place in SADTU. The national office of SADTU will today instruct the Gauteng provincial executive to investigate the matter and provide a full report on the context under which the alleged statement was made.
