We ensure effective service to membership by doing the following:<br /><strong>- Building strong union organization in the factories.</strong> Here our focus is on the regular education and training of the shop stewards. We also organize regular meetings with the membership in the factories. Regular factory general meetings are a corner stone of our union because through these factory meetings members are able to participate in the life of the union.<br /><strong>- Ensuring participation of union members in the affairs of the union.</strong> We arrange mass meetings with our membership every two months.<br /><strong>- Building strong union structures.</strong> Here regular meetings with shop stewards are organized to discuss union matters and factory issues and problems.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"></span>Giwusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10660434299924545847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595137449218011173.post-56165739130477540502007-03-29T05:05:00.000-07:002007-03-29T05:14:22.474-07:00JOIN US<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">PHYSICAL ADDRESS</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><strong>GERMISTON OFFICE</strong><br /></span> 201/2 MELODY CENTER 2ND FLOOR<br />159 Meyer Street GERMISTON 1<br /><br /><strong>PINETOWN OFFICE</strong><br />ARBOUR HOUSE SECOND FLOOR<br />72/73 CROMPTON ROAD<br />PINETOWN 3600<br /><br /><strong>PRETORIA OFFICE</strong><br />DIE MEENT BUILDING 6th FLOOR<br />ROOM 621 & 622<br />266 ANDRIES & PRETORIUS STR<br />PRETORIA 0001<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">POSTAL ADDRESS</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><strong>GERMISTON OFFICES</strong><br /></span>PO BOX 1713<br />GERMISTON 1400<br /><br /><strong>PINETOWN OFFICES</strong><br />PO BOX 2071<br />PINETOWN 3600<br /><br /><strong>PRETORIA OFFICES</strong><br />PO BOX 3500<br />PRETORIA 0001<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">CONTACT DETAILS</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"><br /></span><strong>GERMISTON</strong> OFFICES TEL : (011) 873 4804 FAX : (011) 8736289<br /><br /><strong>PINETOWN</strong> OFFICES TEL: (031) 702-2055 FAX: (031) 702-2065<br /><br /><strong>PRETORIA</strong> OFFICES TEL: (012) 326-3298/7169/7071 FAX: (012) 326-7122<br /><br />EMAIL : <a href="mailto:giwusa@absamail.co.za">giwusa@absamail.co.za</a><br /><br />BLOG : <a href="http://www.giwusa.blogspot.com">www.giwusa.blogspot.com</a>Giwusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10660434299924545847noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595137449218011173.post-11199313560329549462007-03-29T04:24:00.000-07:002007-03-29T04:36:14.572-07:00Shop Steward Training<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4YFyl4uHLwbpsirnPnwwWd7AOy_7G-PAZCr2Oq-k-Imbo7CbjLfBsXHfeBofTctvC9T37dIbN3CpMK0X5yByxdrp7Ld-MbdL_jZBZyInsRH-nXY-Fpy6ZUOH_2isrfp4Jfl4Bwq5HX6a/s1600-h/SS+Ttraining+Pic.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047308752996036498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4YFyl4uHLwbpsirnPnwwWd7AOy_7G-PAZCr2Oq-k-Imbo7CbjLfBsXHfeBofTctvC9T37dIbN3CpMK0X5yByxdrp7Ld-MbdL_jZBZyInsRH-nXY-Fpy6ZUOH_2isrfp4Jfl4Bwq5HX6a/s320/SS+Ttraining+Pic.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">GIWUSA</span> Wits Branch is organising <span style="font-family:verdana;">a shop steward training course</span> for all newly elected shop stewards or shop stewards who have not yet received the foundation training.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">When: 17/18/19 APRIL 2007</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">Where: Khanya College Building, 123 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">Time: 09h00</span></div>Giwusahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10660434299924545847noreply@blogger.com16
