Cosatu het sy voorstel oor die Wysigingswetsontwerp op Inkomstewette aan die Parlement se Gekose Komitee oor Finansies voorgelê. Die Wetsontwerp ondersteun die Twee-Pot Pensioenhervormings, wat vanaf September 2024 meer as 56 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan 3,5 miljoen werkers uitbetaal het. Matthew Parks van Cosatu sê voorstelle sluit in, toegang tot volle spaargeld vir afgedankte werkers, belastingverligting vir lae-inkomsteverdieners, die gebruik van onderwysfooie en beperkings op pensioenfondsfooie:

Cosatu sê hy ondersteun die oproep vir lewenslange tronkstraf vir sewe Chinese burgers wat skuldig bevind is aan mensehandel en kinderarbeid. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Zanele Sabela, sê hulle is in November 2019 in hegtenis geneem nadat 'n gesamentlike klopjag 91 ongedokumenteerde Malawiese burgers, waarvan 37 kinders was, in 'n fabriek in Village Deep, Johannesburg, gevind het. Sy sê die federasie doen 'n beroep op die Departement van Indiensneming en Arbeid om terreininspeksies te verskerp om mensehandel en kinderarbeid te bestry:

Die Cosatu woordvoerder, Zanele Sabela, sê die onlangse verslag van die ouditeur-generaal het verdoemende uitsprake teen munisipaliteite gelewer wat vir te lank sonder aanspreeklikheid gelaat is:

Vier groot federasies, Cosatu, Saftu, Fedusa en Nactu, sê die Trump-era se handelsoorlog ontbloot die gevolge van tariewe wat as wapens gebruik word. Suid-Afrika is een van talle lande wat hoë Amerikaanse tariewe verwag terwyl dié land sy eie vervaardigers en arbeidsmag probeer beskerm. Cosatu-woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê die antwoord is nie ʼn terugkeer na ongereguleerde globalisering nie, maar ʼn handelstelsel wat gebaseer is op eendragtigheid en gelykheid:

Cosatu sê die onafhanklike Regterlike Kommissie van Ondersoek na bewerings oor die polisie-leierskap moet ten volle ondersteun word en die nodige hulpbronne ontvang om sy mandaat te kan vervul. Cosatu sê die plofbare bewerings van korrupsie en ernstige misdadige bedrywighede deur die KwaZulu-Natalse provinsiale polisiekommissaris, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, is uiters kommerwekkend en kan burgers se vertroue ondermyn. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê die kommissie moet vinnig optree om aandag te gee aan hierdie uiters kommerwekkende sake:

Die vakbond Cosatu vra vir 'n dringende onafhanklike ondersoek na aantygings oor ernstige korrupsie deur senior beamptes in die polisie, die regbank en korrektiewe dienste. Matthew Parks van Cosatu sê die aantygings deur die polisiekommissaris van KwaZulu-Natal, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi kan die openbare vertroue in wetstoepassing ondermyn.

Cosatu het die voorgestelde begroting van 700 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand vir die Nasionale Dialoog as roekeloos en uit voeling verwerp. Matthew Parks van die vakverbond sê die voorstel is 'n belediging vir sukkelende Suid-Afrikaners wat moet besuinig en die hoë lewenskoste in die gesig staar. Terwyl Cosatu die doelwitte van die dialoog ondersteun, het Parks gewaarsku teen ondeurdagte uitlatings en die regering aangespoor om 'n beskeie en realistiese begroting toe te ken:

Cosatu bepleit beter ondersteuning om onderwysassistente te help om voltydse onderwysers te word en so meer loopbaanrigtings vir jongmense oop te stel. Die vakbond sê dit sal onderwys help verbeter, die wanbalans in die onderwyser-leerder ratio verminder en jeugwerkloosheid beveg.

Die vakbondfederasie Cosatu vra 'n rentekoersverlaging van 50 basispunte terwyl die Reserwebank (SARB) se Monetêre Beleidskomitee vandag vergader. Matthew Parks van Cosatu sê die ekonomie het verligting nodig met dalende inflasie en werkers wat deur skuld en stygende lewenskoste belas word. Die meeste werkers bly onder druk weens skuld, ondanks 44 miljard rand wat deur pensioenhervormings beskikbaar geword het. Parks beklemtoon dat 'n koersverlaging belangrike ondersteuning aan sukkelende huishoudings sal bied en sal help om die ekonomie weer aan die gang te kry:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die begrotingsdooiepunt wat nou opgelos is, is nie 'n rede vir die verwydering van minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana nie. Daar was verskeie oproepe dat die minister afgedank moet word oor die dooiepunt wat hom nou noop om die begroting vir die derde keer op 21 Mei ter tafel te lê. Dit is 'n ongekende stap sedert 1994. Ramaphosa het gister by Cosatu se Werkersdag-herdenking in Mpumalanga gesê die silwer randjie van die dooiepunt is 'n meer deursigtige begrotingsproses:

Joining Africa Melane is Matthew Parks, COSATU’s Parliamentary Coordinator, who says the DA's move is not only legally flimsy but politically reckless in a year already charged with populist rhetoric.

Cosatu sê hy is is ontsteld oor die DA se vals aanval op Gelyke Indiensneming. Die DA het 'n hofaansoek ingedien wat die kwotas vir gelyke indiensneming in die Wysigingswet op Gelyke Indiensneming betwis, wat volgens hulle bloot rasse-uitsluiting onder 'n nuwe naam is. Die wet bepaal aanstellingskwotas vir ekonomiese sektore, insluitend mynbou en vervoer, die boubedryf en landbou. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê hulle is vol vertroue dat die DA se aansoek van die hand gewys sal word:

Cosatu sê Nasionale Tesourie moet die emosionele en nuttelose versoeking weerstaan om belangrike toewysings in die begroting te besnoei. Dit sluit in die bevriesing van die brandstofbelasting, die uitbreiding van kossoorte wat van BTW uitgesluit is, en maatskaplike toelaes bo inflasie. Dit volg nadat die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof die BTW-verhoging van 0,5-persent opgeskort het. Cosatu-woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê hulle gaan voort om met Tesourie, die regering en die Parlement te onderhandel:

Cosatu waarsku dat regstappe teen die voorgestelde BTW-verhoging die land se belastingstelsel kan destabiliseer. Parlementêre koördineerder Matthew Parks het die risiko vir fiskale stabiliteit beklemtoon. COSATU staan die 0,5-persentasiepunt BTW-verhoging wat op 1 Mei in werking tree, teen. Parks sê hy steun alternatiewe inkomstebronne, soos welvaartbelasting en hoër maatskappybelasting, om die las op werkers te verlig:

Cosatu verwelkom die minister van Menslike Nedersettings, Thembi Simelane, se belofte dat mense wat die nuwe Wet op Behuisingsbeskerming oortree, streng vervolging en strawwe kan verwag. Die wet is in Januarie bekragtig. Simelane het die Nasionale Huisbouers-registrasieraad se verslag oor die George-gebou wat in Mei 2024 ingestort en 34 lewens geëis en 28 beseer het, bekendgemaak. Cosatu-woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê gesondheid- en veiligheidsregulasies soos deur die Nasionale Bouregulasie voorgeskryf word, is ook oortree:

Cosatu verwelkom die regering se poging om ArcelorMittal Suid-Afrika se twee sleutel-staalfabrieke in Newcastle en Vereeniging in werking te hou. Dit volg nadat die onderneming die besluit om sy lang staalbesigheid te sluit, tot 31 Augustus uitgestel het, omdat hy 'n lening van 1,68 miljard rand van die regering se Nywerheidsontwikkelingskorporasie ontvang het. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Zanele Sabela, sê hy is bly ArcelorMittal het 'n Tydelike Werknemerverligtingskema-toelaag ontvang om te help om die werknemerkostes te help befonds:

Die vakbondfederasie Cosatu verwelkom die redding van 23 Suid-Afrikaners uit Mianmar. Hulle is met vals werksaanbiedings gelok, in haglike toestande aangehou en gedwing om mense te bedrieg, en is met geweld gedreig as hulle sou weerstand bied. Die reddingsending is as deel van 'n bi-laterale samewerkingsooreenkoms tussen Suid-Afrika en Thailand uitgevoer wat op die bestryding van mensehandel en oorgrensmisdaad fokus. Cosatu se woordvoerder Zanele Sabela, sê dit dien as 'n dringende teken dat die regering meer werk moet skep:

Cosatu is bly dat die regering Arcelor Mittal Suid-Afrika help om sy langstaalaanleg in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, in bedryf te hou terwyl 'n oplossing gesoek word om dit volhoubaar te maak. Die maatskappy het in Januarie aangekondig dat hy sy aanleg in Newcastle en in Vereeniging, Gauteng, gaan sluit aangesien dit nie meer lewensvatbaar is weens buitengewone hoë energie- en vervoerkoste nie. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Zanele Sabela, sê volgens die staalvervaardiger sal 3 500 regstreekse en onregstreekse werksgeleenthede geraak word:

Cosatu vra die minister van Indiensneming en Arbeid Nomakhosazana Meth om te verseker die probleme met die Werkloosheidsversekeringsfonds se aanlynstelling, wat keer dat uFiling-glad werk, dadelik reggestel word. Die vakbondfederasie kry klagtes van beide werkers en werkgewers. Die woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê hulle het in Oktober verlede jaar kommer uitgespreek nadat die uFiling-stelsel na wat berig word meer as 'n maand lank van lyn af was:

Cosatu verwelkom die minister van Indiensneming en Arbeid Makhosazana Meth se plan om die aantal arbeidsinspekteurs oor die mediumtermyn tienmalig te vermeerder van 2 000 tot 20 000. Die vakbondfederasie se woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê 'n advertensie is reeds geplaas vir aansoeke vir die eerste 10 000. Sy sê Cosatu wil die aantal gesamentlike werkplek-inspekteurs in samewerking met die departement vermeerder:

Cosatu se sentrale bestuurskomitee het kennis geneem van die jongste nuus-hooftrekke dat 'n afvaardiging van AfriForum weer eens Dinsdag vergader het met amptenare van die Amerikaanse regering. AfriForum en Solidariteit het fondse probeer inwin vir 'n aparte Afrikanernedersetting en gemeenskapsinfrastruktuur in Suid-Afrika. Cosatu se woordvoerder Zanele Sabela sê die federasie herhaal sy standpunt en staan vas agter president Cyril Ramaphosa en die regering ter verdediging van Suid-Afrika se soewereiniteit en waardes:

Cosatu het die regering se vordering geloof met die verwydering van die land van die Finansiële Aksietaakmag se gryslys. Suid-Afrika is in Februarie 2023 op die gryslys geplaas omdat hy nie aan internasionale standaarde voldoen het nie wat verband hou met geldwassery en onwettige geldvloei. Die Nasionale Tesourie het 20 van die 22 aksie-items op sy aksieplan suksesvol afgehandel. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê dit is noodsaaklik vir die regering om toe te sien dat Suid-Afrika teen Oktober van die gryslys verwyder is.

In die buurland sê Cosatu hy is diep bekommerd oor die president van Amerika, Donald Trump, se aankondiging van moontlike tariewe op uitvoere deur Suid-Afrika en ander lande. Die Cosatu-woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê dit bedreig duisende Suid-Afrikaanse werksgeleenthede in talle sektore, waaronder landbou, mynbou, juweliersware, chemikalieë, die motorbedryf en klerasie. Hy sê met 'n werkloosheidskoers van 41,9 persent kan Suid-Afrika nie bekostig om nog werksgeleenthede te verloor nie:
