While SADTU panders to alliance partners, the DA is fighting to save pension funds
10 March 2020
SADTU is accusing the Democratic Alliance (DA) of "trying to be an instant representative of workers" following our decision to consult our lawyers on our legal options to stop the ANC government from using pension funds to bail out Eskom.
The truth is that the DA is not trying to represent workers; we do represent them.
What makes SADTU's allegations especially ironic, is that the ones who should represent workers, namely the unions, are failing dismally by entertaining this mad idea.
While SADTU is pandering to the narrow interests of tripartite alliance politics, the DA will continue to champion workers' rights.
