- Description: THE bosses’ system is in crisis. In the auto, tyre, metal and motor sectors, bosses say that they can’t make enough profits. So what is their solution? They say we must help them solve their crisis - by sacrificing our jobs and wages. In every sector where NUMSA is organised the bosses are saying the same thing: "There can be no job security or moratorium on retrenchment workers must be retrenched. There can be no decent or living wage - workers must accept wage increases well below inflation (16%)." The bosses say there can be no compromise on these things if the industries are to survive. They are going ahead with their plans to restructure industries. Their aim is for fewer workers, who earn less money, to produce more for them.

- Description: ON May 14, a dispute was declared with SEIFSA, the engineering bosses, because no progress had been made in negotiations. As you can see from the table over the page, there is hardly any progress in NUMSA’s other sectors either. Motor employers didn’t even respond to NUMSA’s demands - they just came with their own demands! On May 24 a special NUMSA Bargaining Unit Workshop will take place. This is to get reports from regions and to give NUMSA’s bargaining reps a mandate to go to the SEIFSA dispute meeting on May 26. Make sure you get a report about these meetings and make sure you and your shop steward attend all report back meetings in your region and locals. If you want to win your demands you must decide what action you will take! Comrades, we have to ask ourselves - Why is there such a deadlock between the bosses and ourselves?

- Description: THE National Executive Committee (NEC) of NUMSA met on 27-28 June and agreed that strike action is necessary to achieve our demands in these industries: NICISEMI - Iron, Steel, Engineering, Metallurgical Industry, NICMI - Motor, NBF - Auto, TYRE AND RUBBER. The NEC has therefore decided to hold a STRIKE BALLOT for workers in NICISEMI, Auto and Tyre and Rubber from 6-17 July 1992. The workers in NICMI will ballot later because the Agreement only expires on 31 August 1992. The votes will be counted on the 18-19 July. The STRIKE COMMITTEE will meet on 20 July to consider the ballot result and decide on strike action.
