Women's handbook for trade union education

- Description: All over Africa today, and particularly in the Southern Region, women in trade unions are wanting to stand up and be counted. How do we get counted, is a question we ask ourselves? Education being the unanimous answer, we were all very happy when the CTUC decided to fund a Women's Handbook project with the blessing of the Southern African Trade Union Co-ordination Council. The project was implemented in July 1986 in Harare, Zimbabwe. Sisters from Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe got together and our initial objectives were:- • To identify problems faced by working women in the region. • To come up with solutions to these problems. Once the main topics had been defined - i.e. women in society, in trade unions and the law, bargaining issues, health care and education for women - we set about drafting material which was to be used for pilot courses with women workers in each country. Now, nearly a year later, after having met again in Mbabane, Swaziland in March/April 1987, we have our handbook. We want this book to be used to help women educators run courses for the rank and file women workers. Here it should be noted that as women who feel we have always been discriminated against, we do not wish to carry this on by excluding our male counterparts. Therefore even though our book is aimed at women, we would welcome assistance from our brothers! Finally, we hope that this book will be instrumental in bringing about an end to our struggle for women in the labour movement.

- Description: To most of us, speech comes more readily than writing, and when information has to be passed on, the obvious way of doing it is by word of mouth. The telephone has greatly widened the opportunity of conducting business in this way. But a trade unionist is well advised not to rely on this method alone. In the affairs of the heart, it may be good advice never to put anything in writing. The reverse is often true in business. What is written, especially if carbon copies are kept, survives as a record. The record remains as a reminder of what has happened, and a check in the event of a dispute. It is only too easy during transactions which may take some months, to forget exactly what had happened at any one time. Written records will provide exact information, not only about what happened but — what is often as important — when it happened. When it is remembered that the actions of shop stewards and branch officers may be vital evidence in a Court of Law, as for example in the pursuit of claims for damages on behalf of union members, exact records are extremely important. For this reason, a duplicate copy of letters provides branch officials with lasting evidence of their own communications. All branch letters, therefore, should be written in duplicate. If letters are typed or written in an interleaved correspondence book, it is easy to make carbon copies. But even if letters are hand written on loose sheets, ordinary carbon paper will make clear copies providing a fountain pen with a fairly hard nib or a bail-point pen is used.

- Description: The 1st of May is known all over the world as the INTERNATIONAL LABOUR DAY. It is a day when workers pledge their struggle for better working and living conditions. It is a day of showing a link of workers struggle in different countries of the world. It is a symbol of taking forward their struggle against the CAPITALIST SYSTEM and to take control over their lives. In 1890 the Second International Workers Congress accepted MAY DAY as an INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY FOR ALL THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD. Recently in South Africa, fight for May Day to be recognised as a paid public holiday is once more on the agenda of the worker movement. This demand comes at a time when workers have continued to build their trade unions. Thanks to the militant struggles of the early 70's which paved the way for the present strenght of the unions. Already many companies have signed agreements to recognise May Day as a paid holiday. Last year the 100 Annivesary of May Day was celebrated with militance and dignity. More than 1,5 million workers supported the call to attend the rallies which were held all over the country. The Labour Monitoring Group reported that it was the biggest stay-away in over 25 years. The biggest rally organised by COSATU at Orlando Stadium attend ed by close to 20 000 people. Last year support for MAY DAY symboli- shed that workers are beginning to decide what holidays they want and not the states idea of holidays. Its a symbol of hope for the working class that to build a society based on the principal of workers control, workers have to be incontrol of these actions.
