Workers' on Wednesday on SAfm 23 SEPTEMBER - CALL CENTRE WORKERS - Young, black, gifted, exploited and unorganised

[Lynn Thompson]

Tune in to SAfm For “Workers on Wednesday” Wednesday 23 September   At 10.00am for a discussion on   CALL CENTRE WORKERS Young, black, gifted, exploited & unorganised   call 089 110 4207 to join the discussion   http://www.safm.co.za Due to South Africa’s high unemployment, government and trade unions have been desperate to create jobs. One area of high job growth over the past few years has been call centres, with many foreign companies setting up in South Africa, especially in the major centres of Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. Today thousands of young black South Africans work at call centres, servicing companies’ clients from all over the world. In today’s show we take a closer look at the situation and conditions of employment of these young workers. We also look at attempts to organise and unionise these workers to enable them to bargain collectively.  STUDIO GUESTS: ·        CHARLES JACOBS, ORGANISER; CWU ·        JOAN JOHNSON, ORGANISER; CWU ·        CHARLEY LEWIS, SENIOR LECTURER, LINK CENTRE; WITS Copyright © WORKERS' WORLD MEDIA PRODUCTIONS 2014 All rights reserved.
