Inside LabourStart

We received this email two days ago from South Africa:

This serves to confirm that dully mandated representatives of the Union and the Company signed an agreement which effectively marks an end to a protracted strike over an organisational rights dispute between the SACCAWU and Woolworths. Union members will be returning to work from Friday the 24th of October whilst a Joint membership verification exercise will commence on Monday the 27th of October under the auspices of the CCMA. The Union accordingly calls off the consumer boycott since the dispute that compelled the Union to call for a consumer boycott has now been resolved.

We’ll be reporting this to our readers in this week’s mailing.
