This is part four of a four-part series produced by the Casual Workers Advice Office on labour broker workers rights.
In this last episode of the series, we looked at how bosses have tried to get around the law. As well as the difficulty that workers face to become permanent due to the weakness of the law, the anti-worker politics of the CCMA and the problems of the Labour Court. In this episode we focus on the history of workers and the similarities of pre-colonial workers vs workers today. We also take a look at the realities of workers who belong to trade unions who explain the importance of organising in the workplace.
Special thanks go to CWAO Organiser, Connie Masekwameng, for hosting this.
