- Description: Die Derde Jaarlikse Konferensie van SEWU sal vanaf 22 -24 Julie plaasvind. Dit is die eerste nasionale konferensie vandat SEWU buite die grense van KwaZulu- Natal begin organiseer het. Afgevaardigdes van die Wes-Kaap sal ook by hierdie Konferensie wees. EWU lede sal afgevaardigdes uit hulle eie geledere kies om hulle by hierdie Konferensie te verteenwoordig. Daar is ongeveer 48 SEWU takke waarvan 15 in die KwaZulu-Natal se landelike gebiede is. Een afgevaardigde word vanuit elke 20 opbetaalde lede in ’n tak verkies. Ons verwag tussen 100 en 150 afgevaardigdes.

- Description: Pat Horn, Eunice Ntshangase and Sarah Nkunkwana attended the conference of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland, in June. They were participating in discussions about international guidelines for the recognition and protection of home-based workers. These international guidelines were a Convention (which is legally enforceable by countries who ratify the Convention) and a Recommendation containing a number of additional proposals which are not necessarily enforced by law. The SEWU delegation was part of a group of women from different organisations in Homenet, the international body of organisations representing home-based workers which SEWU and SEWA from India both belong to. They had to lobby as many governments as possible to vote in support of the Convention. The South African government was one of those who supported it very strongly. The employers group at the conference fought very hard to stop the Convention being adopted, but in the end it was passed by a two-thirds majority vote. It was a victory for homeworkers, who have not been widely recognised in the past. Now the challenge is to get governments to ratify the Convention.
