MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FOR SACCAWU 10TH NATIONAL CONGRESS Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union wishes to offer our revolutionary support for the convening of SACCAWU 10th National Congress at St Georges Hotel, Irene COSATU 05th Central Executive Committee recently held in Midrand this year centred the importance of reengineering the Living Wage Campaign and SACCAWU has played a significant role during the Wal-Mart acquisition of Massmart, by campaigning for job security and advancement of the Decent Job Agenda. A Living Wage for us as Workers simply implies having a wage sufficient to cover a specific quality and quantity of housing, food, utilities, transport, health care and recreation, but the wages that many Workers earn have never brought the richness of the Labour Power, we posses as workers. And this must stop! POPCRU reiterates what COSATU has eloquently said that, “In no other sectors, there is the gulf between the living standards of the workers and their employers. And we support the review of the Tribunal’s ruling on the basis that,“the Wal-Mart acquisition of Massmart can have a potentially devastating effect on local jobs and the transaction should be sent back to the Competition Tribunal for a proper consideration and more effective conditions to be imposed”. POPCRU adjures all Delegates to deliberate on the importance of building strong, vibrant Worker Formations to squeeze the parasitic demagoguery of capitalist greedy bosses, who continue to ‘earn unbelievable R627.53 millions in salaries, perks and share options’, whilst workers continue to earn crumbs. And we await the outcomes! Forward with the Living Wage Campaign! Down with Wal-Mart Deal! Down with Labour Broking! Forward with the Unity of the Working Class!
