COSATU Call Center Number 010 002 2590

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) has recently launched a new call center to provide much-needed assistance to workers facing labour-related challenges. This dedicated resource aims to offer support, information, and guidance to both members of COSATU-affiliated unions and unorganized workers, ensuring that they have a place to turn for help with workplace issues.

SAEPO shocked by the escalating attacks on paramedics

South African Emergency Personnel’s Union (SAEPU) is shocked and deeply disappointed by the escalating attacks on paramedics. Last week a crew was attacked by armed men in Inanda and today we wake up to another attack that took place last night in Cardham, Phoenix in Kwazulu Natal.  

We are tired of talking about the same thing every day and here we are talking about people’s lives. Health MECs need to start taking the EMS Unit serious because what we are witnessing now is very unfortunate. Last week after the Inanda incident we have tried to locate MEC to accompany us to see the attacked crew in hospital but she was nowhere to be found. Today we wake up to another unfortunate incident, when we had an opportunity to sit down and come up with measures to stop this. It is unfortunate because these MECs understand the word ‘urgent’ when it involves them or their families.

We are going to withdraw our services during the night until we are sure that our EMS workers are protected.
