Patrick Craven has led the production of the Shopsteward in the recent past. Moloto Mothapo is the writer, Yolande Mokhantso the manager responsible for increasing the distribution of the magazine. Recently we have been joined by Nandipha Miti as the website designer, who is also responsible for laying out of the magazine. This team is assisted our spokesperson Siphiwe Mgcina. I congratulate this great team for this excellent edition and trust that we shall continue to inform, educate and politicise our members through the Shopsteward.
Labour law amendments A wide range of issues are covered in the magazine.
One of the important issues covered is the report back we are giving to members on the labour law amendments. Already seven of our eight regions have held well-attended regional shop stewards councils. Healthy debates are taking place and the leadership is being made to account. This is a very important culture of the federation and this tradition must be defended at all cost. Instead we shall have a final discussion on the matter at the CEC to be held on the 24-26 April 2001.
