The reconvened 15th National Congress of Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) continues.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile is set to deliver the keynote speech at the Federation of Unions of South Africa's (FEDUSA) 8th National Congress, which commences on Wednesday. The three-day event is themed 'Reclaiming and Organising the Future: Workers Dignity, Power, and Justice through Conscious Unionism in an Age of Crisis'.
FEDUSA's General Secretary, Riefdah Ajam, stated that the gathering is timely as workers are grappling with rising living expenses and the strain on household incomes. Ajam emphasized the need for workers to have faith in government’s commitment to addressing pressing issues, including unemployment, the escalating cost of living, energy affordability, infrastructure development, economic expansion, and combating gender-based violence.
She expressed hope that the Deputy President would outline concrete actions to generate employment, fortify social dialogue, and foster economic growth that directly benefits the populace.
