THE Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and its affiliate, the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU), said on Monday that it unequivocally reject the proposed sackings at Great North Transport (GNT). COSATU and SATAWU will oppose any attempt to use Section 189 to cut jobs without genuinely exploring all alternatives. Saving jobs, rebuilding public transport and restoring confidence in Great North Transport must be the priority. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) congratulates its affiliate, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) for finalising a landmark wage agreement at Gold Fields South Deep Mine. Earlier this month, the South African authorities confirmed the death of another Nigerian in June under similar circumstances.
