1st AGM of SABC Employees Forum Announced Soon

Posted by FactFinder
The Working Committee of the SABC Employees Forum will soon annouce the date and place for its 1st AGM.

For now, please comment below with nominations for Chair, Dep Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.

Vision
Free and Sustainable Broadcasting for All

Mission
To unify all persons who add value to broadcasting in a professional manner

Values
Honesty * Professionalism * Freedom of Expression * Responsibility

IMPORTANT NOTE: This unity initiative in no way undermines any of the unions! SEF encourages all employees to join one of the unions at the SABC! We support a Closed Agency Agreement, where non union members should pay fees to the Bargaining Forum, to eliminate free rides.

Please do not resign any union membership in favour of SEF, a Professional Society for Public Broadcasters. We try not to "confuse" union leaders.

The largest union (CWU) actively seeks alliances with other unions. Together, we all care about the same thing: Proper recognition for valuable public broadcasting professionals.

    This is very exciting! Let us hope this does not become a vehicle for some power-hungry individuals (like some self appointed manager wannabes in the unions).

    Why Pretoria? Is it not too far? I don't understand why it is not near Auckland Park. However, I'll be there - I actually think the further away from this sick building the better. What about the Auditor General and KPMG people? Can we trust them? Please give guidance.

    There will be quite a few SABC people there already, at a Q+A session 14:00 - 16:00 with the previous Board Chair, to hear her opinion on "what went wrong".

    I will be there

    All 3 unions have endorsed the AG / KPMG team. I am sure the probe will be transparent.

    We are expecting a few defensive comments from those who live off SABC union dues and whose every day and night is spent trying to undermine sterling efforts like these. Please spread the word - this site is very new, and not yet that well known... But watch this space...
