=COSATU national stayaway against job losses – 27 June 2005=

First reports from the unions affiliated to the Congress of South African Trade Unions and from our provincial offices indicate a massive response to the call for a national stayaway today. The mining industry in particular has been brought to a virtual standstill as workers have walked off the mines en masse and started to make their way to the marches.

Workers throughout the country have been queuing up for transport to the marches and the numbers are starting to build up at the assembly points. Teachers, who are on holiday today, are being encouraged to join the marches. We will keep you updated throughout the day.
