and is being launched at the CWAO Education Week in Germiston, where dozens of casual workers from 27 different workplaces are gathered.
In this film, casualised women workers speak about sexual harassment by labour brokers, being made to share personal protective equipment (PPE), being forced to buy lunch for supervisors in order to get overtime. The women workers tell of how they came together as the Simunye Women Workers Forum with the support of the CWAO, to fight for their legal right to be made permanent at work.
