If used wisely, Nedlac can not only help the Ramaphosa administration achieve its goals, but also improve the working conditions and lives of workers and their families.
Solly Phetoe is the General Secretary of Cosatu . Picture: Doctor Ngcobo Independent NewspapersNedlac has played a critical role in bringing together the government, business and labour to craft various interventions on how we can collectively tackle our common problems as a nation.
On Friday, the government and social partners gathered at Nedlac’s Annual Summit to take stock of the progress achieved over the past year, and most importantly to chart the year ahead. Nedlac has over the years played a transformational role in support of labour market stability. It is in this spirit that we must ensure proposed amendments to the labour laws strengthen, not weaken, workers’ hard-won rights.
Closer involvement is needed to ensure the new Mining Rights Application System is fast-tracked to turn this critical industry around and stem the flood of retrenchments. Similar efforts are needed to expedite the African Continental Free Trade Area as well as to reinforce the industrial master plans if we are to reindustrialise the economy and to win the war against unemployment.
Nedlac has proven its value to government in enriching important legislation, from the Public Procurement Act boosting locally produced goods to tackling corruption, to the Carbon Tax finding a fair path for a Just Transition.
