CSAAWU launches Speak-Out Campaign

We also spoke to Karel Swart - Commercial, Stevedoring, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union Deputy General Secretary. We were talking about the Speak-Out Campaign. The Commercial, Stevedoring, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union (CSAAWU), the Mawubuye Land Rights Forum, the Trust for Community Outreach and Education, and the Democratic Left Front (DLF) launched the Speak-Out Campaign on the 27th of November 2011. The Speak-Out Campaign aims to bring an end to the oppression and exploitation of farm workers and farm dwellers by coming together to build solidarity, strength and hope amongst the rural working class. Karel says the Speak-Out Campaign is building workers confidence and hope in the possibility of change. On the 29th of January the Speak-Out Campaign will hold a mass meeting at Karingmelk farm, agter Paarl, in Durbanville and they are calling on working class organisations and progressive forces to stand in solidarity with the rural poor and working class.
