Conference further noted the weaker rand and welcomed the benefit it provides to the local industry and other parts of the productive economy of South Africa.

The Conference also convened five specialists’ Commissions on:

-Concrete campaign support for the Living Wage Campaign,

-Current political challenges and its impact on our membership base,

-Measures to combat bogus co-operatives,

-Preparation for the COSATU Organising, Collective Bargaining & Minimum Wage Conference scheduled for mid-March this year

-Concrete capacity building measures for newly elected and re-elected shop stewards.

The direction received from Conference delegates will enrich the union’s positions taken with regards to these matters in the coming year. It supplements the concrete outcomes of last year’s Conference Specialist’s Commissions on jobs, improvements in membership servicing, organisational renewal, and our membership growth campaign.

Policy proposals emanating from the Conference will now be submitted to the union’s National Executive Committee meeting for constitutional structural consideration, amendment and endorsement.
