National Automobile And Allied Workers' Union
The National Automobile and Allied Workers' Union (NAAWU) was a trade union representing workers in the motor industry in South Africa. NAAWU was founded in 1980, with the merger of the National Union of Motor Assembly and Rubber Workers of South Africa (NUMARW), the United Union of Automobile, Rubber and Allied Workers of South Africa, and the Western Province Motor Assembly Workers' Union. The union brought together about 12,000 members and, like all its predecessors, NAAWU affiliated to the Federation of South African Trade Unions (FOSATU). It was led by general secretary Fred Sauls. While its predecessors had been divided on colour lines, NAAWU was open to all workers in the industry. NUMARW had been registered with the Government of South Africa as a trade union, and as its successor, NAAWU became one of the first non-racial trade unions able to register, the first within FOSATU. However, some workers argued that it was a mistake to register with the government, and so i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers. Trade unions typically fund their head office and legal team functions through regularly imposed fees called ''union dues''. The delegate staff of the trade union representation in the workforce are usually made up of workplace volunteers who are often appointed by members in democratic elections. The trade union, through an elected leadership and bargaining committee, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Federation Of South African Trade Unions
The Federation of South African Trade Unions (FOSATU) was a trade union federation in South Africa. History The federation was formed at a congress over the weekend of 14–15 April 1979 in Hammanskraal and officially launched five days later on 20 April. Its roots lay in the unions which had emerged from the spontaneous 1973 strike wave by black workers in Durban and Pinetown as part of the "Durban Moment", and which had since been part of the Trade Union Advisory Co-ordinating Council or the Black Consultative Committee. FOSATU's constitution enshrined the principles of workers' control of their trade unions, non-racialism, worker independence from party politics, international worker solidarity and trade union unity. It strove to build a tight national federation to work towards an industrial workers' bloc firmly based in strong grassroots organisation on the factory floor. It became the first truly national non-racial trade union federation in South African history, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Government Of South Africa
The Republic of South Africa is a parliamentary republic with three-tier system of government and an independent judiciary, operating in a parliamentary system. Legislative authority is held by the Parliament of South Africa. Executive authority is vested in the President of South Africa who is head of state and head of government, and his Cabinet. The President is elected by the Parliament to serve a fixed term. South Africa's government differs greatly from those of other Commonwealth nations. The national, provincial and local levels of government all have legislative and executive authority in their own spheres, and are defined in the South African Constitution as "distinctive, interdependent and interrelated". Operating at both national and provincial levels ("spheres") are advisory bodies drawn from South Africa's traditional leaders. It is a stated intention in the Constitution that the country be run on a system of co-operative governance. The national government is c ...

Metal And Allied Workers' Union
The Metal and Allied Workers' Union (MAWU) was a trade union representing workers in metalworking, engineering and related industries in South Africa. The union was founded in April 1974 in Pietermaritzburg, with the assistance of the General Factory Workers' Benefit Fund. It admitted all workers, regardless of ethnicity, and so was unable to apply for official recognition. By the end of the year, it also had a branch in Durban, and from 1975 it was active in the Transvaal. However, it remained small, with 6,500 members in 1974, of whom only one third were fully paid up. The union refused to participate in wage or liaison committees, instead fighting for recognition at the company level. It was admitted to the International Metalworkers' Federation. It began working closely with the National Union of Motor Assembly and Rubber Workers of South Africa and the United Automobile, Rubber and Allied Workers Union, and in 1979 they and other unions formed the Federation of South Af ...

Motor Industry Combined Workers' Union
The Motor Industry Combined Workers' Union (MICWU) was a trade union representing workers in vehicle manufacturing and servicing, and also petrol attendants, in South Africa. The union was founded in 1961, to represent "coloured" workers who had previously been part of the Motor Industry Employees' Union, as the unions were compelled to divide on racial lines. The new union affiliated to the Trade Union Council of South Africa, and by 1980, it had 13,135 members. That year, it absorbed the Motor Industries Union of South Africa, which it had previously established to represent black workers. In 1987, under the leadership of Des East, the union merged with the Metal and Allied Workers' Union, the National Automobile and Allied Workers' Union and the United Metal, Mining and Allied Workers of South Africa, to form the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) is the biggest single trade union in South Africa with ...
