SACCAWU National Newsletter - The Finance worker

Workers in the finance sector's struggle against low wages, unfair labour practice, racial and gender discrimination by their wealthy bosses have been ignored for too long. We are seen as pencil pushers and white collar workers who earn big salaries. Now, the time has come for the truth, to put the record straight and speak as one voice through. The Finance Worker, our own mouthpiece, spearheaded by our union SACCAWU. SACCAWU is the only union that recognises the struggle of the comrades in the finance sector, therefore those workers who are not yet members of our union should organise and join SACCAWU to become a strong force in the finance sector. Workers at Sanlam, Fust National Bank, Metropolitan, Standard Bank, African Bank, Price Forbes &. .Alexander and others have already joined SACCAWU. The time to sit and watch our wealthy bosses (fat cats ) in their flashy cars and huge palaces, whilst we go home with a starting wage, is over. We must organise, unite and support each other to fight for a liting wage, better working conditions, and basic trade union rights. This newsletter will give all the workers in the finance sector the opportunity to have their say on worker issues. It will be up to you the workers, to make this newsletter a success and a pain in the (SjSSS of the bosses. We plan to publish an issue every month, depending on contributions from vou, the workers. The names of workers who'll be sending, in articles and other contributions will remain anonymous if the}- so wish, to prevent them from bemg victimised and intimidated by Management. SACCAWU accept full editorial responsibility for the newsletter and the production thereof
