Cde Vanguard, and others who may be interested: It's hard to get definite news during a strike.
Leadership will be consulting members all the time but they won't want to talk about it in public, i.e. where the employers can hear them. So I would not know anything because I am not a member of SAMWU, and if I was a member of SAMWU I would not want to say anything until the deal was done. Sorry if I seem to be spelling things out in too-simple terms but I guess there may be people who don't know all these things. I don't know what the SAMWU Gauteng Press Conference will say tomorrow, but I guess it will not tell us much about the negotiations. Probably it is more about the actions that SAMWU will be taking. So altogether I don't think there will be much clarity in public before the agreement is signed with SAMWU (and don't forget IMATU). VC On 16 August 2011 19:55, <[email protected]> wrote: > ** Ag!
