08 October - Labour - Celebrating World Day for Decent Work
In today’s show, we heard from Gretchen Humphries – from Federation of Unions of South Africa or FEDUSA. We were talking about the World Day for Decent Work which was celebrated yesterday the 7th of October. This year’s theme was the economic crisis and the fact that most of the world is experiencing big job losses at the same time. They say the economic crisis threatens jobs, homes and futures of billions of human beings – those who never drew profit from the years of excess, whose work has been underpaid and degraded and who bear no responsibility for what is now happening. Gretchen explained why decent work is a key part of the solution to the global crisis. If you want to find out more about FEDUSA you can visit www.fedusa.org.za or contact (021) 422 1610.
