_____ YCLSA.png YCLSA supports SASBO National Day of Action The Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) in Moses Mabhida Province supports the South African Society of Bank Officials (SASBO) National Strike that will take place on the 27th September 2019. The National Strike will send a message to the banks to halt retrenchments that have become commonplace in the banking sector. Earlier this year Standard Bank announced to reconfigure its branch infrastructure which resulted in 1200 workers losing their jobs. The bank closed about 104 branches, 49 in Gauteng which further 11 and 10 in Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal respectively. In March, ABSA Group announced it would restructure its South African retail and business banking unit which will basically affect about 870 jobs. Furthermore, statistics South Africa's (StatsSA) quarterly labour force survey for the second quarter of 2019 shows that 6.7-million people are currently unemployed in South Africa, which is 29% of everybody who could be working and by the expanded definition, more than 10 million people are unemployed, or 38.5% of people who could be working, majority of whom are young people. While we are support digitalization and the adoption of automating technologies in the sector, the banks, however, have to implement programs that will prepare workers for this era and the future, to circumvent the onslaught on unskilled and semiskilled workers. As majority of the workers in this sector are young people and in line with our Jobs for Youth Campaign, we will be in the forefront in mobilizing and coming with long lasting permanent solutions in this sector. We remain determined and resolute in building a Left Popular Front of the working class against all austerity measures and to strengthen the driving of the second and more radical phase of the National Democratic Resolution.
