*REMINDER:* *ZWELINZIMA VAVI = IRVIN JIM = CEDRIC TO LEAD A NUMSA MARCH IN DURBAN FOR A LIVING WAGE*
*11 July 2011* *“The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built”**– *Samora Machel*.*** The NATIONAL UNION OF METALWORKERS OF SOUTH AFRICA (NUMSA) representing 120 000 workers in the engineering and other related sectors will be marching tomorrow *TUESDAY 12 JULY 2011*, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal province. This march forms part of the organisational strategy to exert pressure to the greedy and selfish engineering profiteers to accede to workers demands for a living wage and improved conditions of employment. The march will be led by COSATU General Secretary - *ZWELINZIMA VAVI*, NUMSA General Secretary - *IRVIN JIM*, NUMSA President - *CEDRIC GINA*, and other leaders drawn from the Alliance structures in the province. The workers will converge at King Dinizulu statue, Cnr Berea and Warwick Avenue, Durban, starting at 9H00am, and they march through the streets of the CBD to hand-over a Memorandum of Demands to SEIFSA at the Durban City Hall. This march will be taking place amidst intimidation, harassment and assault of our members by South African Police Services (SAPS). Since our industrial action began last Monday 4 July 2011, it has exposed the clandestine abuse of state organs by the ruling class to muzzle and deny workers their constitutional right to assemble and embark on a protected industrial strike action. This march will send a strong warning to the ruling class that workers are not blind and their refuse to be subjected to the old apartheid police provocation and bully tactics of trampling upon their rights. The details of the march are as follows: *DATE: Tuesday 12 July 2011* *TIME: 9H00am* *VENUE: King Dinizulu statue (opposite Durban Christian Centre), Durban* Members of the media are hereby invited to attend and report.
