The YCLSA support COSATU on the Walmart 1 June 2011
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] is extremely concerned by the Competition Tribunal's approval of the take-over of a controlling 51% of Massmart by the Walmart a notorious American multinational company. As an organisation we have campaigned vigorously against Youth unemployment, but now our Jobs for Youth campaign is threatened by this move. Waltmart is known on subverting workers Rights. It is the very company that has denied workers Rights to belong to trade union. Walmart is also known of destroying local manufacturing business by using its competitive advantage to force its competitors out of business. This will lead to massive unemployment and will see many young people on local manufacturing industry unemployed. There are only two conditions from Competition Tribunal which may be interpreted as progressive for the workers: the reinstatement of 503 workers retrenched by Massmart, and the enforcement of all agreements negotiated by the trade unions in Massmart, but even this is restricted to only three years. As the Young Communist League of South Africa we will fully support COSATU on its effort to stop this Capitalist monster on destroy our economy. We call all our members and Mass Democratic Movement to do everything within legal means to stop Walmart Issued by YCLSA For more information, please contact Mafika Mndebele (National Spokesperson) Landline: (011) 339 3621 Cellphone: 073 574 5953 Cellphone: 082 567 3557 Email: [email protected] -- You are subscribed.
