Collective Bargaining

Comrades

The CWU Plant Executive needs your go-ahead on the following:

1. We want the SABC to PRIMARILY communicate all matters of mutual interest directly with the Plant Secretariat and Executive (whether it's Cde Tommy, Cde Rian or the Acting Plant Secretary, Cde Mimi).

2. Communication should be copied to CWU HQ, the Broadcasting and Allied Co-ordinator, Vulture, and the General Secretary, Gallant Roberts.

3. We need to mandate a member elected team in terms of the CWU office, and communicate the point of contact to the SABC. We feel that the point of contact should be immediately able to disseminate information to members, and HQ is not as able to do that as the Plant Secretariat is.

Please comment - the Plant Executive will be the communication hub for the union at SABC, and this is aimed entirely at improving communication channels, not at replacing union HQ. Effective communication is absolutely vital!

UPDATE ON CDE RIAN'S CASE: He will get to hear the sanction from the panel tomorrow at 14:00. Note that the panel now consists only of two members as the third is on suspension pending investigations.

Are you willing to defend the organisational rights of the union?

Can Cde Rian expect a fair hearing from these SABC managers?
