Shingange committed to NEHAWU despite suspension
NEHAWU placed Mike Shingange on precautionary suspension on Sunday.
COSATU First Deputy President Mike Shingange remains committed to the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU) despite a suspension handed down by the Labour Court. The suspension did not prevent Shingange from vying for COSATU's top leadership position, according to the Court's decision. Shingange spoke to the media in Johannesburg on Wednesday, stating that the reasons behind the suspension are a matter between him and NEHAWU.
He emphasized that one cannot run for worker office bearers unless they are a member of a union, a worker, or a shop steward. Shingange added that only those who pay a subscription to a union can run for a leadership position within the federation.
