NUMSA Motor News - Employers out to smash Industrial Council

Description
WHILE wage negotiations with employers are deadlocked, there are more serious rumours that some employers are trying to smash the Motor Industrial Council and so break down centralised bargaining. They are acting just like other employers and the government who want to destroy centralised bargaining. They see it as a way to weaken the power of workers. COSATU decided early this year to fight against these moves. NUMS A is committed to centralised bargaining. It bargains centrally in all the industries where it organises - motor, auto, engineering and tyre. The collapse of the IC in the motor sector would encourage employers in other NUMSA industries to smash the other central bargaining forums. This would defeat all the gains we have made over the years. Motor workers must lead the way in squashing employers' wishes.
