- Description: It happened too slowly, not easy to imagine, nonetheless it happened. Minister Tito Mboweni is fairly delighted, the work is done and the new Labour Relations is in place. Is it the same word with workers. Perhaps, what is more important is to observe the provisions of the Act. It certainly brings about balanced playing fields between the business and labour movement. Unions are now allowed to organise and if necessary majority unions are now able to sign for a close shop. The majority union in a given place of employment has overriding rights and workers falling outside organised labour are not free of paying subscriptions, gone are days of labels such as ‘umdlwembe’ because all will be regarded as organised labour force. Workers have a legal status to strike which should be observed by employers, gone are the days of dismissing workers simply because they participate in the strike. We hope such a provision will stop union bash activities taking place in Kiley Baker, A C Doors and Transvaal Mattress Company.

- Description: Congress understood well what Cde Nqakula was saying and how important it is to mobilise all our forces to come in with a huge ANC majority in the elections. Delegates made sure through a strong resolution on elections that PPWAWU will play its part: the union will send a fulltime PPWAWU person to COSATU for voter education. This person is Sipho Kubheka and he is already at COSATU head office. One shopsteward from each region will also be released to assist COSATU. Branches must run voter education workshops at once with the education co-ordinator's help. Shopstewards must get time off to train as voter educators, and all workers must give R1 towards voter education.
