The Federation of Unions of SA (Fedusa) has issued a statement relating to Friday’s national protest action organised by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu).
Fedusa indicated noted that the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) certified that Cosatu’s application complied with the provisions of Section 77 of the Labour Relations Act. This provision provides protection for Cosatu’s members to participate in the protected protest action and the normal practice of no work and no pay applies. Fedusa was not part of the proceedings in Nedlac “and therefore our members are not protected.” Fedusa is thus not participating in the protest action.
