I fully understand your point of reference, you're very much correct all of might have unintended consequences if not properly handled. I therefore propose that the department of public service and administration be tasked with a mandate to develop a migration process with clear terms of reference. The process must absorb all temps working under labour brokers and transfer them into a fixed-term contract employment until the whole phase is finalised. This will be short-term corrective mechanism towards a broad goal - Decent Job opportunities. It's imperative that each of us acknowledges responsibility with all our differences to unite in the national task of strengthening the decent work agenda. It's about taking responsibility and acting with unity of purpose. Otherwise, mickey mouse such as DA and COPE will make a meal out of nothing - because all they care about is profit and cheap politicking to advance narrow interests at the expense of workers and the poor. Many roving gangs armed with neo-liberal rhetoric already say we are "too ready to back the horrors of communism without thinking" (Financial Mail, 30 October 2009). What a lot of hogwash! Our own cadre, cde Randall Howard is well placed at the dpsa and he can make valuable impact in the discontinuation of labour broking in the country. We will rise to the challenge and it will make us walk tall. Let's engage, maqabane! Remain, Morgan Phaahla Ekurhuleni

We agree with everything including the reasons that lead our structures to raise the motion of banning as oppose to regulation. However the remaining part in our discussion is the way foward on all affected employees which were employed under this capitalists pursuasion. In the meantime, the Department of Water Affairs, Health and many others have already issued circulars to inform staff about this move and even the notice to the employees that their contracts will be terminated as a consequence of this move. I think this will course uncertaity cadres, my view is that we should engege in order to find the best working mechanism. Our approach should not be the Retrenchment of a special type. Our manifesto has been talking about creating jobs since 2004 and in 2009 we even spoke of Decent Jobs (which confused Terror Lekota). We are faced with a situation where we need to defend the workers again. Indeed the struggle continues. I am told other departments want to retrench temporal employees because they want to minimise their expenditure on the compensation of Employees. My coonsidered view is that we cannot at this stage, have a situation whereby the Departments will save money at the expense of our manifesto and working class. Some of these employees have been 'Temps' for over two years. As oppose to the notice issued to them, there is a view that the Managers may make motivation for employees which are critically needed by the various components in order to consider issues of continuity. This will promote patronage and a venality of some kind. And this motivation will depend on the mutual relations between managers and employees. I am afraid that this arrangement will disregard the perfomance of others and will compromise the fact that these employees have been victims of the capitalists pursuasion. Cadres please assist in paving the way foward.
