- Description: The last eighteen months have seen tremendous growth in Transport and General Workers Union. Numerically the union has grown from 26 000 signed up members to over 40 000 in the period under review. But it is not only in numbers that TGWU has grown. The period has been one in which new structures of the union have been built, and where new organisational direction has been sought in all sectors. The period has been one during which for the first time in four years, the union has not had to divert its attention to putting into effect complex mergers and transfers of membership. It has also of course been a period charged by major national political developments - from the passing of the Labour Relations Amendment Act in September 1988, to the release of seven ANC leaders from Robben Island in October of this year.

- Description: A weekend Advice Office Labour Training Course was held at the Cape Town Trade Union Library at the end of September. It was a shortened version of the annual training course for advice office workers held in March and April, and was organised for the benefit of new recruits to the Aid Service. The course was attended by a number of T&GWU Aid Service people from the Athlone and Stellenbosch offices, community advice office workers, and trade union office staff. In all about 25 people attended on both days. The course was designed to give basic information on trade unions and industrial relations, as well as interviewing skills and practical guides to unemployment insurance, worker's compensation and pensions.

- Description: In reviewing the developments in T&G finances over the past eighteen months, we can safely say that T&G finances have certainly stabilized over the period. However, in case we get too excited at this news, a note of caution. While our income from subscriptions has steadily improved, due mainly to the Congress ’88 increase in rate (from R3 to R4); our expenditure has in relation also increased to the point that if we continue with our current expenditure pace of October ’89 and November 89, we will soon return to our previous problem of constant threat of bank overdraft! We are a long way off self-sufficiency and still rely heavily on our overseas funders for assistance in the areas of legal fees and our education programme. This report will focus on both the positive developments in T&G finances over these past eighteen months, as well as the problem areas which we need to seriously tackle from here!
