South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)

Published on 28 January 2013

The Communication Workers union (CWU) and Creative Workers Union of South Africa (CWUSA) have observed the attack directed at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) management particularly to the Acting Group Chief Operations Officer (GCOO), Mr Hlaudi Motsoaneng as an individual. We view this as onslaught by people who wanted to capture the SABC for their rightwing selfish and narrow interests.

Published on 28 January 2013

The CWU has reached a settlement agreement with South African Music Rights Organisation (Samro) to end the two months long strike, which started on the 29th of October 2012 and was supported by CWUSA all the way. The industrial action was initially about the 13th cheque that the company has unilaterally phased out. However the parties agreed to enter into engagements that will look holistically into salary restructuring and performance measurement. The agreement further outline how the company will cushion the financial impact endured during the strike by workers.
