WORKERS must support the struggle organised by COSATU. Only mass action will make Mr FAT CAT boss listen to our demands.
In the end, socialism remains the only road. The workers solution isrevolutionary industrial unionismworkerscontrol over the land andfactories through trade unionaction.
- COSATU calls for double pay for Sunday work, six months maternity leave, four months of which must be paid, a 40 hour work week, and an end to workplace apartheid. COSATU calls for reconstruction and development.
- BOSSES call for lower pay, less paid maternity leave, low wages, less safety regulations, and other forms of so-called “flexibility”. The bosses stand for the exploitation of Black workers.
Mass Action the only way
THE BOSSES are unwilling to compromise. They want to be “internationally competitive”: to pay low wages and enforce bad safety conditions so they can keep up their profits. Only mass action can force them back.
TO WIN we need our powerful industrial unions- democratically controlled by the workers. To win, we need to fight in the spirit of no compromise.
Reject GEAR
IN THIS fight we cannot rely on the government and politicians. They havereplaced the RDP with the so-calledGEAR programme. GEAR calls forprivatisation, more tax on workers, cutsin social spending, wage restraint, andless regulations on the bosses. GEAR is a bosses programme.
The road to freedom is not parliament but mass action, socialism, and working-class democracy.
