Description: Workers have struggled for many years for a new Labour Relations Act. We have suffered under the apartheid L.R.A, Bosses were able to dismiss us, pay starvation wages, call the police to beat us up when we struggled for our rights, and make super profits from our labour. With democracy, we expect an end to this slavery and exploitation. We called for a new L.R.A., for a workers L.R.A. Over the past month, we have negotiated with a view of reaching consensus on our key demands. Instead, we have found from the business community, a series of delaying tactics. They have tried to limit the gains we could make for workers. They have tried to protect their management power. They have resisted the development of proper trade union rights. We tender this memorandum to advise that our members are angry. We want rights now! We call on business to endorse basic workers and trade union rights.
