Workers in South Africa celebrated the World Day for Decent Work last Thursday by marching to the office of Gauteng Premier, David Makhura and delivering a document containing a list of demands.
The workers urged the government to fix the “economic mess” that the country has been facing, hitting every segment of the society, especially the workers. They also raised their voice against the rampant corruption and complained that the government is not taking workers into confidence. Worker and trade union members have a right to defend collective bargaining.
Of late, workers have been agitated by the new reform process of the government. The government is contemplating restructuring of many public sector companies because of the huge losses they have been incurring for the last few years. Notable among them are the South African Airways. Workers resisted the restructuring process on the ground that it would lead to massive unemployment.
