Political Resolutions, 7 of 8
=1.7 Monuments to worker heroes:=


 * Noting:**

1. Workers have always been in the forefront of the struggle, but many who sacrificed enormously have not been sufficiently profiled as heroes and heroines of our struggle.

2. The failure to profile these leaders could mean the new generation loses its knowledge of its history.


 * Resolve:**

1. COSATU recognise the role played by workers in the struggle by building monuments in their towns across all sectors.

2. COSATU recognise the role played by working class leaders by building a workers monument, and engage government on building a museum for worker heroes.

3. The affiliates will submit names of the past heroes and heroines to COSATU, and the CEC be mandated to establish a task team to receive the names and verify them before compiling a final list to the first CEC of COSATU in 2007.
