Declining worker activism places financial strain on COSATU: Phetoe
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) General Secretary Solly Phetoe says declining worker activism is placing severe financial pressure on the federation.
Presenting COSATU’s organisational report at its 15th reconvened National Congress in Kempton Park, East Rand, Phetoe outlined key performance areas and the work of elected office bearers.
He warned that urgent intervention is needed to ensure the sustainability of trade unions.
Phetoe says, “This has placed enormous strain on organisational sustainability and the ability of unions to respond effectively to attacks on workers and collective bargaining.” He adds, “The report calls for urgent necessity to build workers’ unity, strengthen organisational discipline and deepen political education, including organisational renewal, as articulated both in the 14 national congress and our eight central committee.” VIDEO | Day 2 of COSATU’s National Congress:
