The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) has raised alarm over the rising tide of violence against women and children.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa het 'n plakkaatbetoging by Denel se kantore in Centurion, Gauteng, gehou omdat bestuur die afgelope vyf jaar al weier om salarisverhogings toe te staan.

We've got an especially internationalist show this week. After our headlines we start our main stories with some of the recent industrial action taken by French workers ahead of and during the ongoing Olympic Games. Next we discuss the mass protest last week against the speech by genocidal war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington DC, including a historic contingent from the labor movement.

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) says the strike by Gautrain workers will continue indefinitely if no meaningful offer is made.

However Gautrain spokesperson Dr. Kesagee Nayager has assured Gautrain passengers that services will not be disrupted. Elvis Presslin spoke to Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, NUMSA's National Spokesperson

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa is sterk gekant teen die gedagte aan 'n koalisie tussen die ANC en die DA. Die vakbond kritiseer die DA se anti-werkersbeleid, wat die sny van werkerbeskerming en subsidies insluit. Die woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die regerende party moet met progressiewe partye saamwerk om werkloosheid, armoede en ongelykheid te pak. Hlubi-Majola dreig met massa-optrede sou 'n ANC/DA-koalisie gevorm word.

Die Nasionale Unie van Mynwerkers van Suid-Afrika het besluit om ‘n politieke standpunt in te neem met die komende nasionale verkiesing. Die hoofsekretaris, Irvin Jim, sê gegewe die verslegtende sosio-ekonomiese situasie vir die werkersklas, wil die vakbond kiesers bystaan met die stemkeuses wat hulle het en raai hulle af om regse partye wat die regte van werkers misken, te ondersteun. Jim raai werkers aan om nie vir individuele kandidate te stem of vir partye wat xenofobie en rassisme voorstaan nie.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa veroordeel Israel se eerste minister Benjamin Netanyahu en Amerika se president Joe Biden vir hul optrede in Palestina en beskuldig hulle van volksmoord. Die vakbond het sy solidariteit met die Palestyne uitgespreek ná ʼn versoek deur die Amerikaanse aktivis, Angela Davis. Hulle het ooreengekom om saam met Davis te werk aan ʼn veldtog om Palestina te verdedig en ondersteuning op plaaslike, streeks- en internasionale vlak te bevorder.

Die Nasionale Unie van Metaalwerkers van Suid-Afrika sê hy ondersteun oproepe van die minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Naledi Pandor, dat Israel se eerste minister Benjamin Netanyahu van oorlogsmisdade aangekla moet word. Suid-Afrika het die Internasionale Strafhof gevra dat oorlogsmisdade in Gaza ondersoek word. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê hulle is steeds geskok deur, soos hulle dit noem, Israel se barbaarse volksmoord op Palestyne in Gaza:

Die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa, sê hy is verheug oor die bedanking van Eskom se uitvoerende hoof, André de Ruyter. Hy het ingestem om aan te bly tot einde Maart terwyl die raad na 'n plaasvervanger soek. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê De Ruyter is die swakste uitvoerende hoof in Eskom se geskiedenis en sy onbevoegdheid is die rede vir die hoë beurtkrag-vlakke. Sy sê die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, moet ook bedank.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa veroordeel die ANC-regering omdat hulle geweier het om beslissend op te tree om die kragkrisis wat die land tans in die gesig staar, te hanteer. Die vakbond se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die land sukkel die afgelope paar dae met onophoudelike fase ses en vyf-beurtkrag. Volgens Hlubi-Majola verwerp Numsa met minagting die flou verskoning wat die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, oor beurtkrag aangebied het.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa sê hy veroordeel die Eskom-bestuur wat minstens 300 skoonmakers en tuiniers by Megawatt Park en die kragvoorsiener se kollege in Midrand sonder werk gelaat het. Die werkers wat aanvanklik aangestel is om skoonmaak- en tuinwerk vir Eskom by JV Kusile te doen, se kontrak het verstryk. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die kontrak is oorgeneem, maar die maatskappy het nie die werkers gehou nie en hulle is nou sonder werk:

Numsa het met minagting die Padongelukkefondsbestuur se pogings verwerp om die vakbond die sondebok te maak vir die afleggingsproses ingevolge artikel 189-A van die Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge. Die vakbond het kennis geneem van die kommunikasie wat die fonds se waarnemende korporatiewe ondersteuningsbeampte, Ian Barriel, en die uitvoerende hoof, Collins Letsoalo, uitgereik het. Hulle beweer daarin dat Numsa die proses begin het om werknemers af te lê. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê dit is glad nie waar nie.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa sê die uitvoerende hoof van Eskom, André de Ruyter, weet glad nie hoe om die land se energiekrisis op te los nie. Al meer stemme gaan op dat hy moet bedank weens die voortgesette beurtkrag. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê toe De Ruyter by die kragverskaffer begin het, het hy belowe om beurtkrag binne 18 maande te beëindig, maar hy kon nie sy belofte nakom nie. Hlubi-Majola sê daar moet gevra word wie se belange bevorder word met De Ruyter wat steeds toegelaat word op Eskom op 'n pad van vernietiging te lei:

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa en die Suid-Afrikaanse Kajuitpersoneelvereniging is ontsteld oor die besluit van die Suid-Gautengse Hooggeregshof om SA Express te likwideer. Die staatsbeheerde lugdiens is sedert sy voorlopige likwidasie in April 2020, buite aksie na mislukte pogings om dit te red. Die likwidasie van SA Express volg kort nadat die plaaslike lugdiens Comair in Junie gesluit het. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê hulle veroordeel die Departement van Openbare Ondernemings vir sy aandeel in die vernietiging van die lugdiens:

Die Metaalwerkersvakbond van Suid-Afrika het met werkgewers vergader onder die sambreel van die Bedingingsraad vir die Motorbedryf om loongesprekke verder te voer. Volgens die nasionale woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola eis hulle ʼn verhoging van 9,5 persent en 'n nagskoftoelaag vir vulstasiewerkers. Hlubi-Majola sê die loongesprekke het 'n dooiepunt bereik, vandaar die voorgestelde nasionale staking in die motorbedryf:

Numsa doen 'n beroep op die minister van vervoer, Fikile Mbalula, om in te gryp by die huidige dooiepunt by die bus-onderneming Putco. Die vakbond sê die departement kan nie voortgaan om 'n busmaatskappy te betaal en te subsideer nie. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê Putco is gekant teen die werkers, krities oor die vakbond en uiters selfsugtig. Sy sê dis duidelik senior bestuur wil elke rand en sent van die kontantvloei in hul sakke steek en niks met die werkers deel nie.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond, Numsa, doen 'n beroep op die arbeidsminister, Thulas Nxesi, om dringend ingenieurswese se hoof-ooreenkoms in die Staatskoerant te publiseer en te verleng. Dit is om te verseker die ooreenkoms word uitgebrei na buite-partye in die groter ingenieursektor, sodat hulle verhogings kan ontvang. Numsa se hoofsekretaris, Irvin Jim, sê die ooreenkoms sal bestendigheid vir die bedryf se werkers bring sodat hulle swaarverdiende verhogings kan geniet:

Die Nasionale Metaalwerkersvakbond van Suid-Afrika het 'n dooiepunt oor lone met die myn- en metaalmaatskappy, South32 verklaar. Die maatskappy bied 'n algemene verhoging van 3,1 persent en 'n eenmalige verhoging van 4 persent aan wat slegs vir een maand in kontant betaal word. Die vakbond eis 'n algehele verhoging van 15 persent. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê die rede vir die dooiepunt is hoofsaaklik omdat die werkgewer daarop aandring om 'n afgewaterde model te gebruik wanneer werkers by loongesprekke betrek word:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa het die Arbeidshof se weiering verwelkom van 'n aansoek van die werkgewers, Neasa en Saefa, teen die verlenging van die salarisooreenkoms wat die Bedingingsraad vir die Ingenieursbedryf onderteken het. Die betrokke ooreenkoms behels 'n verhoging van 6 persent op die minimumvergoeding in die metaal- en ingenieursektor. Die twee verenigings het die publikasie van die verlenging van die ooreenkoms in die Staatskoerant teengestaan en sê hulle kan dit nie kan bekostig nie. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi Majola, sê hulle ondersteun die hofuitspraak:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa gaan hom vandag in die Arbeidshof in Johannesburg verdedig teen aanklagte van minagting van die hof wat deur die voormalige tweede adjunkpresident, Ruth Ntlokotse, ingedien is. Sy het die hof gevra om die elfde nasionale kongres wat in Kaapstad gehou is, nietig te verklaar. Numsa se woordvoerder, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê Ntlokotse wil ook hê die vakbond se hoofsekretaris, Irvin Jim, en president Andrew Chirwa moet vir minagting van die hof gearresteer word:
