This year’s World Day for Decent Work, 7 October, is dedicated to the millions of workers around the world seeking peace and democracy.

Peace and democracy are the cornerstone of very society which is willing to thrive and be prosperous.

In South Africa we have seen this phenomenon where peace and democracy have been undermined in the workplace. This is manifesting in many forms of exploitation and undermining of workers’ rights.

As COSATU in the North West, we will be part of the international campaign demanding decent work for all workers in the country and around the world.

The planned march in the North West will take place as follows:

Place            : Rustenburg taxi rank

Date             : 07 October 2024

Time             : 09H30

End Venue    : Rustenburg  Municipal Offices

Our demands include the following:

1.    The creation of safe and healthy workplaces

2.    The end to GBV femicide and all other social ills

3.    The fight against corruption and maladministration

4.    The fight against the rising cost of living

5.    The compliance to the Basic Condition of Employment Act

6.    The protection and advancement of collective bargaining

COSATU calls on all workers and the members of the community to come out in numbers to join the march.
