*CWU PRESS RELEASE* * *
* * *15 May 2012* *CWU march to South African Post Office (SAPO) and Gauteng Premier’s Office* Tomorrow *16th May 2012* members of Communication Workers Union (CWU) in South African Post Office (Sapo) in Gauteng will march to SAPO’s regional offices in JHB, Braamfontein and thereafter proceed to the Premier’s Office in the JHB CBD. The march will gather at Cosatu House, 110 Jorrissen and cnr Simmonds Street at 9am. At 10am the *CWU Gauteng Chairperson, Comrade Veli Zulu* will welcome and addressed the masses and then proceed to the Sapo regional office where they will be addressed by the *1st Deputy President of CWU, Comrade Clyde Mervin* and *the Provincial Secretary, Comrade Aubrey Tshabalala* will present the memorandum. All Post Offices Depot and Mail Centres in Gauteng will be closed (Shut down). The march will then proceed to the Premier’s office in the Johannesburg CBD where they will be handing over another memorandum to the Premier of Gauteng. The march is as a result of the unresolved 2005 agreement entered into by both CWU and S.A Post Office to convert labour brokers workers to permanent positions in the company. CWU further demand that the company dismiss the Senior General Manager in the Mail Delivery (Pieter Swart) and the Group Executive Mail Business (Janras Kotsi) with immediate effect, both of whom are culprits of sabotaging CWU and Sapo agreement of 2005 that outline the process of doing away with labour brokers in the company. CWU demand that the integration of Speed Courier Service into Courier Freight Group that was recently signed by the Minister, Comrade Dina Pule be halted. The move that is been viewed as outsourcing one of the core functions of the S.A Post Office and it has a potential of compromising service delivery. It is CWU believe that organized labour was not properly consulted; this process will be detrimental to worker’s quality jobs. The union demand that a transparent report with regards to R425-million that was spent on the 10-year lease, an amount which the board of Sapo deemed as an “irregular expenditure”. Furthermore the irresponsible spent of R19-million prior to renting out of the new building at Eco Point in Centurion, all this is tantamount to corruption and all those who were responsible in a form of receiving “kick backs” should be brought to books. *Issued by the Office of CWU Gauteng Provincial Secretary, Aubrey Tshabalala – 0829948196* * * * * *Contact * * * *Matankana Mothapo, CWU National Spokesperson - 0827590900* -- You are subscribed.
