20-26 May 2005
“Faced with growing job losses and inadequate employment creation, COSATU and its affiliates last year entered into disputes with employers in the mining, clothing and retail sectors, as key actors in job losses, under Sec 77 of the Labour Relations Act. “In the months since we have submited notices of dispute, we have engaged extensively at Nedlac and elsewhere. Nedlac has now declared that a deadlock has emerged. In the next few days, COSATU will submit notices that permit workers to embark on protected mass action, including pickets, demonstrations, and a series of stayaways.


 * “The first stayaway will be on 27th June!”**
