UKUQALWA KWAMANYUNYONI ABOMDABU EMINYAKENI YO 1930

Iningi lenu selifunde nge I C U (Industrial & Commercial Uorkers Union) afa eminyakeni yo 1930. Umbuzo esfiozama ukuwuphendula uuukuthi kwa-

thini ngazisabanzi zabomdabu emuva kokuba kufa i-I C U.

IICU NEZINYE 1ZINYUNYONI ZEZISEBENZI

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi emuva kua I.C.U. kwavela azinya izinyunyoni kapha bezingafani naze nayo ngezinye in-

dlela.ezibalulekile. I-I.C.U. i"b- imisue ngokwamukelua kuabantu, um- untu ngamunya kanti izinyunyoni e- zintaha zona bazamukala amalungu a phuma kumafaktri athile, omsabanzi othila. Ngamanya amazui, i-I.C.U. ibiuumhlangano uaziaubunzi zonka kanti izinhlangano wzintaha ezise-

benzi zona zazimiaue ngamalungu a- mala ifektri athile.

Ngalendlala, iziaubanzi eziphuma kui Clothing factry bazimisa i-Clo- thing Uorkars Union; iziaubanzi ze-

Laundry Uorkars zimiaa i-Landry Uo- rkars Union Nj. Kusobala ukuthiizi sebenzi ze Clothing Uorkars Union na Laundry Uorkars Union azingana- nga eqenjini elilodua lzisebanzi. flasibonise umahluko phakathi, kua I. C.U. namaqembu amaaha azisabanzi a- babizua ngokuthi ama-Trade Unions.

La emfanekisuani uyoqonda_jtilsufcbi_a- malungu a I.C.U. ebengena i-execu- I tive ye I.C.U. kanti emfanekisueni '

uesibili kubonisua ukuthi izisebe- nzi zazimisa izinyunyani ezihluke- ne ngokuya ngemisabanzi yazo. U- ku8ukela lapho base zisungula iqe- mbu elimele izisebenzi. Eminyake'- ni yo 1930 amaqambu ezisabenzi a- loluhlobo.

Kuyabonakala ukuthi okubalulekile kakhulu okudingeka sikuqondile u- kuthi eminyakeni yo 1930 (aekudl- ule iminyaka angama 40) zimise i- industrial unions esikundleni som- hlangano othatha uonke umuntu.

UKWANDA KWAMA INDUSTRY

Okuesibili ukuthi eminyakeni yo 1930 - singathi ngo 1936 - kuaba-

khona ukuqhubekela pbambili ngok- uanda kuamafektri emadolobheni; nokuanda kuezisabenzi. Ikakhulu kuanda izisebenzi zaflabhunu nabo-

mdabu. Izimo ababosebenza phansi kuazo bezizimbi impela. Kuathi kungakadluli isikhathi izisebenzi zaqala ukuqoqana nokusungula iziny­

unyani. Ngo 1936 kuasekukhona izi­nyunyani ezili-166 eSouth Africa.

Izisebenzi ezimhlophe bezingazisizi izinyunyani zabomdabu kanti abomda- bu babenezinhlupheko ezifana neza- namuhla.

IZISEBENZI ZEKONTRAKI UKUHLUSHWA

AMAPHOYISA

Yiziphi lezi zink^nga?Ukungasebanzi sduze namakhaya, uku- hlushua amaphoyisa, ukucindezelua nokungejuayeli ujihlala emadolobhe­ni kuabantu abaphuma ezabelueni.

Ukungabi namakhaya ezindaueni za- misebenzi kuenze ukuthi izinyuny­ani zingakuazi ukuthola amalungu aqinile, nokufundisa izisebenzi. Kanti ukuhlushua amaphoyisa kue­

nze ukuthi izisebenzi zesabe u- kungenela izinyunyani. Futhi i-

zisebenzi ezihlala ezabeleni be-

zithola ubunzima ngokungajuayeli.

UKUMISWA KWEZINYUNYANI

Noma kunjalo izinyunyani zabom- dabu zamisua zahlangana, kuami- sua i-Federation of Trade Unions. Kumisue izinyunyani ezimbiliti- Joint Committee ebenamalungu a-

uu 15 700 emisue ngalezizinyunya- ni.

Laundry Uorkars Union;Commercial and Distributors Union; Bakers and Industrial Uorkers Union;Dairy Uorkers Union;Printing Uorkers Union;S.A. Chemical Uo­

rkers Union; General Uorkers Union.I-Coordinating Committe of African Trade Unions ibinamalungu auu 2872 azisebenzi. Futhi ibinamaTrade U- niona emisebenzini elandelayo: Br­oom and brush; Building; Sueet; Tobacco; Rope and canvas; Hides and Skins; Cycle; Furniture; Bag and Trunk, Tin; metal; and iron indust­

ries.

Kuleliphepha ngikhulume kuphala nga- mabutho ezisebanzi zase Transvaal kanti a Natal, s Koloni nakuezinye indauo bezikhona izinyunyani zezi- eebenzi zabaPlnyama.

Kuelandelayo icuadi yomlando woku- hlangana kuezisebenzi zabomdabu sizobonisana indlela ezisetshenzi- sue yizisebenzi ukuze zikuazi uku- hlangana nokuqala i-Council of Non- European Trade Unions.

UMTHETHO WEINDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION ACTEphepheni lethu lenyanga edlulile sibonise unqondo lomthefcho ue In­dustrial Conciliation Act umisue ngayo ukuanza ukuthi izisebanzi nabaqaahi ba banokusabanzisana e- zinkingeni aziningi. Siahilo uku­

IK W AH LIK AN A KWEZISEBENZI

Inti yokuqala ePuneka siyiqondi- le ukuthi izisebenzi zaae South Africa azikaze zahlangana. Imva- na yeziaebenzi ezimhlophe ibelo- ku yesaba ukuthi izisebanzi ze- bantu abamnyama zizokuamukela a- oaholo angaphanai kunauazo.ngora-

sebenzi ofanayo; imiphumela ya- loko kubeke ukuxiehue kueziaebe- nzi ezimhlophe kufakue ezimnyama endaueni yazo. Izisebenzi ezim-

hlophe bezeeaba ukuthi zizoxosh- ua ngoba inzuzo yabaqashi bazo izokuanda uma bangasakhokhi ema-

holo aphezulu. Izisebenzi ezi- mhlophe bezicabanga ukuthi aba-

nsundu abayidinqi imali eninoi kangako ngoba iningi labo lithola imali ngeziza zazo ezabelueni. Izisebenzi ezimhlophe azizange zi-- zange zibuze ukuthi kungani pho a- bamnyama beza emadolopeni bezofuna

umsebenzi. Azizange zicabange uku­thi empeleni abnsundu baphoqelele- kile ukuba basebenze. Phindi! Ngo- bandlululo luazo luasendulo oluazi- uayo, -izisebenzi ezimhlophe zaqoqa- ne ndauonye ukuze zimelane nezise- benzi zezinye izizue; ikakhulu izi­sebenzi azinsundu. Azizange zizi- hluphe ngokuhlangana nabansundu;

zimelane nabaninimisebenzi abahole- la abansundu amaholo amancane ukuze

kungadingeki ukuba bakhokhe amaho­

lo aphezulu abamhlophe. Kunaloko abanhlophe baqala ukukhuluma nge- zinhlobo ezimbili zomsebenzi:(U- asebenzi uabamhlophe nomsebenzi

uamakhafula). Umthetho ke, ue ninee & Works Act uonyaka ka 1911 uabaphumelelisa abamhlophe ngoku- misa imisebenzi ethize ezimayini* ni abingeyabamhlophe bodua. Ngo- kuqhubeka kuesikhathi i Colour Bar (ubizua njalo lomthatho) ya- sakazeka yaze yafika ezieebenzini zezitimela nakuezinye izisebebzi.

Lokho.ke, kwamisua umthetho ue Industrial Conciliation Act of 1924 ouanqanda abanaundu abapha- tha ampaai ekueunguleni izinhla-

ngano zezisebenzi.

Sengibhele ngalezizinhlangano ephepheni:(iBasebetsi) elidlu- lile. Izisebenzi ezimhlophe za- bona ukuthi zizozuza kancono ngokuanza isimo semisebenzi eaivu- melana nabo bodua kunokuba zihlan-

gane nezinye izisebenzi, zingaban- dlululi bala. Nanxe ezisebenzi e- zimhlophe nazo zi gcuelezua ngoba- si abazivumela nje inzuzo, zaqoma ukusebenzisa ibala lazo elimhlophe ukuze zihlale kuleyo missbenzi ya­zo. Imithetho ke efene ne Indust­rial Act yaaetshenzelua ukuaeka ubandlululo. Ngamanye emazui i- zisebenzi ezinsundu zenqatehelua ukuenze imisebenzi ethize kuphe- la ngoba zimnyama. Iziaebenzi e- zimhlophe zona zathola uonke ama- lungelo; zisekelua izinhlangano zezisebenzi ezimhlophe. Kubalu- lekile ukuba lokhu sikuqonda ka- hle ngoba kuzoaieiza ekuqondeni kangcono ukuba jringani izisebe­

nzi ezinsundu nezimhlophe zing- azange zihlangane. Endaueni ya

lakho iziaebenzi ezimhlophe za- zisungulela ezazo izinhlangano. Ngenxenye inkathi kukhona aPlan-

diya namNdiya naKakhaladi. Ab­anaundu ke baziqambela ezabo i- ainhlangano:(i I.C.U. The Coun­cil of N6n-Europeen Trade Unio- ne) nezinya.

IMIZABALAZO EMIBILI

Phakathi kueminyaka ka 1920 no

1930 kubekhona imizabalazo emi- bili. Amaqembu amabili ahlukana yo aaabalaze efuna amaholo angc- ono, izimo azingcono zokusebenza naaabelo eaingconyuana enzuzueni ka Basa. Ngazinya izikahthi be- kunobambisano noma lolobambiaano

inyunyani lapho abaholi bazo ba- bezame ngamandla ukuhlangana

ngaphandle kokubandlulula kuebala be-hluleka ngoba abansundu abaphetha a-*mapaei babengavunyelue ukuba ngamalu-nga ezinyunyani zezisebenzi ngokomth-

etho. Izisebenzi ezimhlophe ezizangezilahle amalungelo afunyanua ngoba

UDRKS CDWniTTEES AND LIASION COMMITTEES

At the general meeting of workers the Industrial Aid Society held,

•ome workers said that they were against committees in the factory because the committees did nothing for the workers.

Ue agree that Works Committees and Liason Committees only tell the bosses

what the workers want in the factory, and do not get any power for the

workers. Liason committees are a way of bosses controlling the workers,

and will never help the workers to get the power they need to be e q u a / t o the bosses.

This is also true about works committees. The bosses find out who the

workers' leaders are, and can fire them if they try to get what the worker-

s want. Since the works committee can only organise workers in one

factory, the workers cannot become strong, because the boss can Always

fire all the workers in his factory, and replace them with workers from factories in the same industry.

SHOP STEWARDS COMMITTEES

However, remember that there is a difference between works and liason

committees, which can never really represent workers, and shop stewards

committees which are part of a trade union. The job of a trade union is to

organise all the factories in the same industry, The shop stewards in

the factory are elected by the workers, and they are the link between

workers in the factory, and the trade union. The trade union cannot be

attacked by the bosses when it is fighting for workers' rights, because it's negotiators are not necessarily from the factory.

Also, the bosses cannot fire the workers in the factory and replace them

with workers from another factory, since these workers also belong to the

trade union, and will refuse to take over their fellow workers positions.

But the trade union cannot be strong unless it has shop stewards committee-

s in the factory which represent the workers' interest. UithoUtthese shop

stewards, the trade union will not know what the workers want, and how the trade union can help them.

So support the shop stewards, because they can help the union to grow

strong. But remember that works and liason committees cannot really build a strong trade union which can help the workers.

THE FORMAT I n N OF BLACK TRADE UNIONS IN THE 1930's

»

*

Some of you have read about the ICU (The Industrial and Commercial Uorkers

Union) which finally collapsed in the early 1930's. The question ue shall

look at in this article is what happened to Black workers after the ICU.

I.C.U. AND nTHER UORKER ORGANIZATIONS

It is true that other worker organisations emerged after the ICU. But

these generally speaking were differnt from the ICU in one very important

r e s p ec t.

The ICU was based on individual membership whereas the new worker organi­

sations were based on membership from particular factories in particular

industries. In other words, the ICU was a general workers organisation

whilst the new worker organisations were formed on industrial lines.

Thus, uorkers from the Clothing Industry formed a Clothing Uorkers* Union,

the laundry uorkers formed a Laundry Uorkers* Union and so on. Laundry

Uorkers and Clothing Uorkers did not thus belong to the same w o r k e r s ’

organisation. Let me show you the difference between the ICU and the new

workers' organisation or trade unions as they were known.

In the drawing, you can s n that in the ICU members had a direct link to the

ICU executive but in the second drawing, workers are organised into diffe­

rent trade unions depending on what kind of work they did. From there,

those trade unions got together to form a body representative of uorkers.

In the 1930's, two such organisations, representative of workers through trade unions, were formed.

„So the one important thing ue must understand is that in the 1930's

(more or less Forty years ago) workers organised into industrial unions rather than general unions.

INCREASED INDUSTRIALIZATION

The second thing is in the 1930's about 1934 - there was a big step

forward in the number of factories that were setup and a big increase

in the number of workers in the towns. The number of Afrikaner and

African workers increased particularly. The conditions of many of the

workers w«rr» vary bad. Sonn workers began to get together and unions

were formed. By 1939, there were 166 trade unions in South Africa.

White workers did not generally help the African workers to organise

and African workers faced very similar problems in organising that they face today.

MIGRANT LABnUR AND POLICE INTIMIDATION

What were these problems? They were:

Migrant labour and police intimidation and represion and the difficulty

people from the resaves faced in getting used to town ways.

Migrant labour made it difficult for the unions to build up-a stable core

of membership and to train their members and police intimidation meant

that many workers were scared of joining a trade union. Also, workers

who were still used to life in the reserves found it difficult to adjust to town ways.

f o r m a t io n nr a f r i c a n t r a d e u n i o n s

But despite this many African trade unions were formed and they joined

together in a confederation of trade unions.

Two confederations were formed:

The Joint Committee which had 15 700 members and was composed of the; Laundry Workers Union

Commercial and Distribution Workers' Union

Bakers Industrial Workers' Union

Dairy Workers Union

Printing Workers Union

S.A. Chemical Uorkers' Union

General Uorkers' Union.

The Co-ordinating Committee of African Trade Unions had a membership

of about 2,872 uorkers and had unions in the following industries:

broom and brush, building, sueet, tobacco, rope and canvas,hide andskin, cycle, furniture, bag and trunk, tin, metal and iron indust­ries.

I have mainly talked about organisation amongst Transvaal uorkers

here. African workers also organised in Natal and the Cape and in other areas.

In the next article on the history of the workers' movement, we

will look at how the different organisations linked up to form the Council of Non-European Trade Unions.

VnRSTER *S DETENTE:Uhat does this mean for Black Workers?

The Prime Minister H r . Vorster has asked South Africa's critics for six

months to bring about changes, without really making clear what sort of changes he means.

FRIENDLY RELATIONS

Uith Mozambique moving towards independence South Africa has lost an

important buffer zone protecting our borders against an hostile black Af rica.

In order to prevent South Africa's protective buffer zone from further

contracting Mr. Vorster is trying to ensure a peaceful settlement between

Black nationalists and the Smith Regime in Rhodesia. In a d d i t i o n he

has swiftly moved once again in the direction of active dialogue,flying

to Liberia to have discussions with President Tolbert, receiving delega­

tions from the Ivory Coast and Zambia, as well as top South African

Nationalist politicians moving to and from Zambia.

Black Africa has made it clear that this is not the sort of change they

wish to see. Does this sort of change which South Africa is presently

experiencing in her relations with some Black African states mean any­

thing for Black workers?

ATTEMPTS TP SATISFY INDEPENDENT A F R I C A .

It is unlikely that the Nationalist government can continue to score

success in its dialogue uith independent Africa without at least some internal changes.

UHAT SORT OF CHANGES CAN UE EXPECT AND UHAT UOULD THEY MEAN FOR US BLACK WORKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA?

There are certain changes already taking place in South Africa which are

aimed at showing the rest of Africa that Apartheid is softening up.

APARTHEID

Opening up certain hotels which in the past have been for Uhites only, to

Black South Africans as well as to Black Foreigners, giving equal pay to

Black professional people such as teachers and doctors.

Giving Africans the right of home -ownership in the township.

♦Letting Coloureds attend the Nico flalan Theatre and Intergrating the

First class coaches on trains.

These and other similar reforms would do away with many of the insults

experienced by all Black South Africans. They would also be of benefit,

to a small group of Blacks who have the opportunity to obtain an education

required for professional jobs, or who have a lot of money to stay in

expensive hotels, to travel first class, and to pay for tickets to the

Nico Nalan or Civic Theatres.

Even the question of home-ownership, is not an extremely important issue

affecting Black Uorkers. It will be a long time before Black Uorkers

in South Africa will be able to efford to buy land in the city and to buil-

j d the sort of houses that will pass town planning requirements. Black Uork

s are separated from these requirements not only by petty Apartheid, but

also by sheer poverty.

Black Uorkers at this stage need more than the right to own their own

homes, need to have security of tenure in good sub-economic housing.

They do not need integrated first class coaches, but greatly improved

cheap and safe mass transport. In general what Black Uorkers need is

not the changing or altering of a few regulations but a massive expendi-j

ture of money on better facilities of all kinds.

HOMELAND INDEPENDENCE

It has also been argued that the Government is going to give independence

more quickly to homeland* in order to justify its Apartheid policies

towards Blacks in the cities.

How would Homeland Independence help African Uorkers? The answer is,

very little. The problems of the African worker lie in the urban areas,

and it is here that they must be solved. The profits of Uhite indivi­

duals and Uhite owned companies come largely from the labour of Black

Uorkers. For a homeland to accept independence is for it to accept

that the wealth produced in the urban industrial areas, . should remain

permanently under the control of one section of the population.

UHAT BLACK UORKERS FACE

The problems t'fiat Black Uorkers face, lie in the pass laws and in the fact
