Item
- Title
- The Apdusan: African People's Democratic Union of Southern Africa (Vol. 5 No. 3)
- Description
- An analytical report on the 1999 Public Sector strike involving over 600,000 workers. The text details the breakdown of negotiations between the government and COSATU-affiliated unions. It critiques the "Medium-Term Expenditure Framework" (MTEF) as a tool for enforcing wage cuts and "non-negotiability." The article highlights the irony of COSATU supporting the ANC's election campaign in June 1999, only for the government to unilaterally implement a 6.3% wage increase in August, which was well below the workers' demands. It further exposes the government's "ideological media campaign" regarding parliamentary salary increases.
