  • Resolution #1 CUPE NATIONAL WILL

    Resolution #1 CUPE NATIONAL WILL

    Resolution #1 CUPE NATIONAL WILL: Amend Article 11 of the National Strike Fund regulations to allow for all Local Unions to be entitled to claim assistance from the Strike Fund for up to 100% of the Local Union’s share of the cost of the arbitrator or chairperson of a board of arbitration and up to 90% of the cost of representation before such arbitrator or board. Assistance regarding arbitration costs will no longer be limited to Local Unions which are “prohibited by legislation from striking.” ​ BECAUSE: ● The arbitration process can place a significant financial burden on Local Unions, particularly smaller Local Unions. ● Conservative governments are increasingly willing to use charter-violating legislation to force workers into arbitration and thus subjected to sizeable legal fees. Submitted by Local 3903 ____________________ Maija Duncan Chairperson _____________________ Gizem Çakmak Recording Secretary Resolution #2 CUPE NATIONAL WILL: Amend Article 5 of the National Strike Fund regulations to ensure that Local Union members ​ can receive strike pay when they are not holding a current contact or on active payroll, but have paid dues within the past 12 months. BECAUSE: ● The National Strike Fund regulations must reflect the reality of contractual and precarious workers within unionized workplaces. ● Particularly within the post-secondary sector, workers hold contracts for specific terms with the reasonable expectation that they will receive work again within the next academic year. ● A worker should not be prevented from performing strike activities and showing solidarity with their fellow workers merely because they do not have an active contract at the time of a strike or lockout.

    The Requirement of Notice of Industrial Action in South African Labour Law

    1 THE REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTION IN SOUTH AFRICAN LABOUR LAW 1. Introduction [1] Industrial action1 is accepted worldwide as an integral part of collective bargaining. It can take different forms. These include a strike2, a lock-out3, picketing4, a product boycott5 and protest action6. The list is not intended to be exhaustive. In turn, a strike 1 Barker & Holtzhausen Labour Glossary 71 define the term “industrial action” as meaning “action by unions, employees or employers to pressurise the other party in the furtherance of an industrial dispute”. They go on to state: “It usually refers to strikes and lock-outs but could also include picketing, product boycotts, sit-ins, go-slow strikes and other actions which disrupt the productive process”. 2 A strike is defined in s 213 of South Africa’s Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (“the Act”) as meaning: “the partial or complete concerted refusal to work, or the retardation or obstruction of work, by persons who are or have been employed by the same employer or by different employers, for the purpose of remedying a grievance or resolving a dispute in respect of any matter of mutual interest between employer and employee, and every reference to ‘work’ in this definition includes overtime work, whether it is voluntary or compulsory”. 3 A lock-out is defined in s 213 of the Act as meaning: “the exclusion by an employer of employees from the employer’s workplace for the purpose of compelling the employees to accept a demand in respect of any matter of mutual interest between employer and employee, whether or not the employer breaches those employees’ contracts of employment in the course of or for the purpose of that exclusion”.

    Local Officers' Resource Manual

    Dear Colleagues: Congratulations on your election. You take office at one of the most critical moments in the history of our country and union. This moment calls for bold leadership as our union responds to three intersecting crises. We are living in an era of extreme economic inequality and Corporate Power. We have seen the largest redistribution of wealth in our nation’s history and the lowest unionized workforce in decades. In 2020 we also faced the threat, destruction, and tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst the devastation of COVID-19, we have found ourselves confronting the plague of racism in America, which has been rampaging in our communities since long before the pandemic. I have been proud of the actions our union has taken to dismantle anti-Black racism and we have so much more work to do. I know that together we are up to the task of confronting these challenges. We can continue building our union’s power through new organizing, bargaining strong contracts, and building independent political power behind a working class agenda. As unprecedented as the COVID-19 pandemic is, CWAers have been on the front lines every day, keeping people informed, connected, and safe during this difficult time. And if we are to make progress in tearing down racism in this country and in our union, we must listen to the experiences of Black CWA members and all Black workers. Every white union member, Black union member, Latino union member, and every ally must fight and organize for Black lives. Unions have a duty to fight for power, dignity and the right to live for every working-class person in every place.

    The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges

    The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges Stefan Schmalz, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany Carmen Ludwig, Justus Liebig University, Germany Edward Webster, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Introduction Instead of dismissing labour as a product of the past, the study of labour has been revitalised over the past two decades by approaches that emphasise the ability of organised labour to act strategically. This new branch of research on trade union renewal has challenged the discourse of a general decline of organised labour, focusing instead on innovative organising strategies, new forms of participation and campaigning in both the Global North and the Global South (Turner, Katz and Hurd, 2001; Clawson, 2003; Milkman, 2006; Agarwala, 2013; Murray, 2017). The focus of these studies has not been the institutional setting of labour relations or the overall impact of major trends like globalisation on labour, but rather the strategic choice in responding to new challenges and changing contexts. In the discussion on trade union renewal, the power resources approach (PRA) has emerged as a research heuristic. The PRA is founded on the basic premise that organised labour can successfully defend its interests by collective mobilisation of power resources. This idea has significantly shaped the way scholars are dealing with the issue of union revitalisation and labour conflict, as studies from different world regions have examined union renewal as a process of utilising existing power resources while attempting to develop new ones (Von Holdt and Webster, 2008; Chun, 2009; Dörre, 2010a; McCallum, 2013; Julian, 2014; Melleiro and Steinhilber, 2016; Lehndorff, Dribbusch and Schulten, 2017; Ludwig and Webster, 2017; Xu and Schmalz, 2017).
