ALTSA

Seventy-three years later, ALTSA is still representing staff in matters relating to conditions of service, salary negotiations, grievances and disciplinary cases... In October 2018, ALTSA became an affiliate member of the Federated Union of South Africa (FEDUSA). FEDUSA was established as a trade union federation on 1 April 1997, by the amalgamation of two federations, namely Federation of South African Labour Unions (FEDSAL) and Federation of Organisations Representing Civil Employees (FORCE). FEDUSA's establishment is very closely related to the fact that a growing number of employees from all walks of life felt the need for a much stronger, party-politically independent, non-racial and stable trade union federation with unions who can advance the interests of employees and of the economy of South Africa in an independent and responsible manner... ALTSA believes that universities can only flourish in a free non-racial, non-discriminatory and democratic society.
