Description
Today the bosses can see that workers are standing up for their rights. Their organisations are growing. 230 000 metal workers are united in NUMSA and more than 1 million workers are united in COSATU. The united power of workers have forced the bosses to accept changes to the vicious LRA. The united voice of the oppressed and exploited people have forced the bosses government to unban our organisations. And so the workers voice demanding control over their own lives is growing stronger day by day. The bosses can see that the workers have a plan. That workers are marching along a road which will lead them to victory and freedom. But the bosses too come with their own plan. And the bosses plan is aimed at protecting and increasing their profits and priviledges. The bosses plan is trying to force the workers to walk along the road of deregulation and increased profits for the bosses. This plan is seeking to divide workers and so to break their strength. The bosses plan aims to undermine centralised bargaining. They are scared to face the united power of motor workers. So they try to shift bargaining to plant and company level.
