Fighting Their Own Battles: The Mabarete and the End of Labour Broking in the South African Post Office

By on February 01, 2015

This working paper outlines how casual workers ended labour broking in the South African Postal Office (SAPO). There is now acute awareness of the explosive nature of SAPO’s industrial relations and an  increasing understanding that at its root is the problem of casual workers. This perception is correct: current industrial disputes in SAPO are, largely, the end game of a long and frequently bitter struggle to remove labour brokers from the Post Office.
