- Description
- TGWU is gearing up to influence and shape future transport policy with our Transport for the People policy document. A fresh perspective and preparedness to actively assert our vision for transport emerged at our 5th National Congress held in May at the Holiday Inn Garden Court in Johannesburg. More than 700 delegates representing 60 000 members countrywide gave concrete expression to our congress theme by adopting a call for a 24-hour general strike on 2 July in support of our demands around public transport policy. The call to action is a demonstration of our rejection of the Minister of Transport's intention to restructure the public transport industry (buses and Rail) through privatisation, thereby placing the future employment of workers under direct threat.
