COSATU meeting with Government on Job Losses
24 August 2015
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and other trade unions in the Metal Industry met with Ministers of Trade and Industry and Economic Development on Friday, 21st August 2015 to discuss the ongoing job loss bloodbath in the country.
The meeting was also attended industry employers and was a follow-up to a meeting held between the dti and COSATU Mpumalanga leadership on the same challenge of job losses.
The meeting with the two key government departments was not a replacement of the S77 Notice COSATU filed with NEDLAC earlier this month.
The COSATU S77 Notice doesn’t only focus on the jobs crisis in the steel industry but in all other sectors of the economy.
