The EFF welcomes the announcement to insource 1400 Jozi@Work and contract workers to the City’s payroll as announced by Pikitup management yesterday.

This milestone achievement was of course as a result of the EFF’s consistency with its 2016 Municipal Manifesto to eradicate job casualization and exploitation after it tabled a Motion to insource all contract workers in the City of Johannesburg which was adopted by Council.

This victory will see these employees increasing their earnings as casual workers from R2200 to R6000 per month now as permanent employees of Pikitup.    

EFF Joburg salutes its deployees in Council for courageously fighting the ANC/DA’s anti-black neo-liberal policies. This outcome is as a result of tireless dedication by our deployees in Council and should be understood within the context of reversing the Egoli 2000 neo- liberal framework introduced by the captured ANC and celebrated by the racist DA.
 
This practical implementation of EFF’s manifesto furthermore serves as testimony that Joburg’s challenges require a pragmatic approach that can’t be located in the ANC nor DA policies.
 
The EFF will continue being in the forefront to represent the needs of the poor, and continue to apply pressure in Council to fast track service delivery which is in the favor of the poor and marginalized residents of Johannesburg.
 
EFF will soldier on and fight tooth and nail to have a Motion adopted in Council which proposes that JMPD Officers should be given a R1000 danger allowance which was previously rejected by the corrupt ANC and the racist DA.
