I have never
spoken about the EFF supporting this. IFP, NFP and the AIC for supporting the budget. I did not here the objection from the FF Plus. I request the hon members on some of these issues to visit, acquaint themselves with our labour centres around their constituencies so that they keep on visiting them.
But, one area where we have the fundamental difference with the DA is on the workers' rights, as usual anti-unionism stunts, a call for the labour market flexibility reforms nothing else but cover and cater their workers rights. They are just there to oppose anything that has to do with the workers rights. And, to us the ANC, workers rights are human rights.
You can't come here and tell the whole of South Africa, that a worker who is injured to the extent of becoming partially blind because he was burnt by the boiling acid in a factory owned by white
person, then that worker should not be compensated because you don't want those rights. That is very racist and scandalous!
What I'm saying is, instead of facilitating that the worker enjoys those particular rights. And this is worker that has worked there for 30 years and then you say let's protect the labour reforms and so on so that workers don't have their rights. What do you call that?
