Union boss says privatisation is being sugar-coated as private equity partnerships.
Planned protest action against the privatisation of Transnet could mean the loss of millions for Transnet National Ports Authority , and see worse truck backlogs in Richards Bay.
The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union vows to continue with its planned strike action on Friday, despite being issued with a ‘no work, no pay’ circular by TPT last week. Lobbying their counterpart and union federation mother body, the Congress of South African Trade Unions , Satawu secretary-general Jack Mazibuko said they were optimistic the ‘current material conditions’ confronting Transnet would motivate Cosatu to empathise with the employees who want to protest.
He said that no amount of reactionary forms of intimidation, especially by a section of employees identifying as part of the ‘capitalist aristocracy’, would prevent them from championing the genuine class interests of the rank-and-file suppressed by the ‘antagonistic establishment’.
