Hon Chairperson, the EFF rises to reject the Department of Labour's Budget Vote in view of the fact that the envisaged amendment of the Labour Act includes, as suggested by the ANC's Deputy President and the DA, balloting for workers in a strike. The working class will know you for what you are. You have abandoned them, ANC. [Interjections.]
We also call for legislation to determine a minimum wage of R4 500 and the establishment of a commission to investigate the conditions of employment in the mining industry. Failure to do so ... We remain adamant that this Budget Vote should not be approved. Thank you. [Applause.]
