The Congress of South African Trade
Union in KwaZulu- Natal has expressed its disappointment that parliament seems
to be dragging its feet on the issue of labour brokers and completely rejects
the six-month proposal under a labour broker.
Cosatu Provincial Secretary Zet
Luzipho said they remain adamant that, in no way a democratic state must
regulate modern day slavery and human trafficking.
“The PEC agreed that they have intensified
their campaign against labour brokers because there is no way that different
works can co-exist side by side with labour brokers. They have also given all
the unions and locals that are responsible to identify employers who continue to survivor
by employing people through labour brokers,” Luzipho said
Meanwhile the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial
Executive Committee said it rejects with all contempt it deserves the signing
into law of the bill that seeks to grant Sanral the right to plough on with
E-tolls all over the country.
President Jacob Zuma signed into law
a bill which frees up the South African National Roads Agency Limited to launch
the multibillion Rand project.
Cosatu Provincial Secretary Zet
Luzipho said they are disappointed that government signed the bill into law.
“We completely rejected this with
all the contempt it deserves and we have said we commit ourselves to fight this
until the last drop of our blood and we are convinced that there will never
be e-tolls in KwaZulu-Natal
