Business Report writes that axed Cosatu boss Zwelinzima Vavi believes the sacking of 228 SA Post Office (Sapo) workers affiliated to the Influential Information and Communication Union of SA (IICUOSA) is linked to workers not belonging to a Cosatu union.  

Vavi addressed over 60 workers who marched to the Telecommunications and Postal Services Department in Pretoria on Tuesday demanding that Minister Siyabonga Cwele should intervene.  He said the Communication Workers Union (CWU), the majority union at Sapo which is affiliated to Cosatu, did not have the interests of workers at heart.  IICUOSA has been battling with the parastatal to get its members reinstated after they embarked on an illegal strike in June.
