FAWU Press Statement, 14 November 2013 Fishing Sector Bargaining Conference (14th and 15th November 2013) The Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) is holding the National Fishing Sector Bargaining Conference on the 14th and 15th November in Cape Town at the Reitz Hotel at Cnr Main and Camberwell Roads. The conference will be addressed by the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the big four fishing companies/groups and by the Ministers of Labour (DoL), Minister Mildred Oliphant, and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), Minister Tina Joemat-Peterson on the 15th November 2013 at 12h00. On the 14th November 2013 the expected 110 shop stewards at the conference will be addressed by the General Secretary, Katishi Masemola, and thereafter the conference will discuss the key objective of continuing the campaign for the establishment of the National Fishing Sector Bargaining Council (BC) in 2014 to cover the 15 000 workers, from sea-going and fish-farms to processing and distribution. The conference will further discuss ways and means of strengthening the on-going program of getting each and every fishing company to directly employ workers from labour brokers and do away with this barbaric practice of super-exploitative tri-angular employment arrangements. In conclusion, FAWU will be declaring dispute with those companies resisting to be part of the envisaged bargaining dispensation and waging strike action to force them into the new bargaining arrangement. This will start in February 2014 and continue until the entire fishing value-chain is part of the bargaining council.
