Cosatu says main May Day rally 'not going to be a normal' one
Durban - A week before the country’s working class celebrates its international labour day, the Congress of South African Trade Unions says while it was KZN’s turn to host the event, the province also present major opportunities for it to recruit more members, hence it is revelling in the opportunity to host its main celebration there.
Speaking about their decision to take the event to Durban, Pamla said the city last held their main celebration in 2015 when they were celebrating their 30th anniversary and said this was “not going to be a normal May day rally” as the ANC will get a chance to put its elections message to the thousands of workers expected there.
Pamla added that KZN, being an economic hub that is second to Gauteng, and with millions of workers, it presents them as Cosatu with an opportunity to recruit and mobilize them to join their unions.
