Govt's IPAP2: COSATU's initial response
The Congress of South African Trade Unions welcomes the release of the New Industrial Policy Action (IPAP2) by the Trade and Industry Department (see here). COSATU is studying the action plan and will make its submission before the Trade and Industry Portfolio Committee on 3 March 2010. We however wish to make the following preliminary comments on the action plan.
We note with satisfaction that the call COSATU has been making for many years that to address the high rate of unemployment, poverty and inequality, the country needs a clear industrial strategy that targets labour intensive sectors of the economy, is ultimately taking root/becoming a reality.
