Retail And Allied Workers' Union
Retail is the sale of goods and services to consumers, in contrast to wholesaling, which is sale to business or institutional customers. A retailer purchases goods in large quantities from manufacturers, directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells in smaller quantities to consumers for a profit. Retailers are the final link in the supply chain from producers to consumers. Retail markets and shops have a very ancient history, dating back to antiquity. Some of the earliest retailers were itinerant peddlers. Over the centuries, retail shops were transformed from little more than "rude booths" to the sophisticated shopping malls of the modern era. In the digital age, an increasing number of retailers are seeking to reach broader markets by selling through multiple channels, including both bricks and mortar and online retailing. Digital technologies are also affecting the way that consumers pay for goods and services. Retailing support services may also include the provision ...

Chris Dlamini
Christopher Ndodebandla Dlamini (born 10 October 1944 – 19 November 2009) was a South African trade union leader. Dlamini grew up in Benoni and Springs. He became aware of the African National Congress at an early age, and saw himself as a supporter of the organisation, although he did not join. He was expelled from school in 1963, and began working in the stores at Sanbra Engineering. In 1973, he joined the new Engineering and Allied Workers' Union, and at the end of the year took part in a short strike which achieved an increased Christmas bonus. In 1974, Dlamini moved to work for Rank Xerox, and sat on the company liaison committee, but found it was far less effective than a trade union. When he moved to work for Kellogg's in 1977, he joined the Sweet, Food and Allied Workers' Union (SFAWU), and helped recruit other workers at the factory. He became a shop steward in 1979. Many of the union's members were unhappy with its leadership, and Dlamini won election as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
