South Africa has a history of a robust trade union representation in the labour market, however, current numbers show a weakening of the labour movement.
Director at Labour A, Jahni de Villiers says, “I think it’s a combination of not completely being in touch with what members need and then of course your changing workplace.” “The workplace doesn’t look the same, as it did 20 or 30 years ago, and then, of course, trying to get younger people into the unions, because the stats as it stands at the moment, your age groups are between 45 and 54 years, are the people who are most likely to join unions, so you’re actually missing out on quite a lot of younger people in a country with a younger population,” De Villiers adds.
The people are seeing the unions for what they are! All they do is stir and create problems so that they can get the increase intended for the workers! Take a look at how they live compared to the workers so who is benefitting?

Julius_S_Malema That's what happens when you left your fundamental co-existence and became obsessed with investments. Trade unions are in pocket of WMC.
Trade Unions in SA are a scam. Workers are worse off & these unions have been a part of the main reason.
