浅析如何提升农场工会干部素质

工会是工人阶级的群众组织,是党联系群众的桥梁和纽带,是群众合法利益的代表者和维护者.农场工会具有维护全场职工群众的经济效益和民主权益、吸引和组织职工群众参加经济建设和改革、发挥职工群众参政议政作用、代表和组织职工参与农场各项社会事务管理、帮助职工不断提高思想政治觉悟和文化素质等多项职能.面对进入新世纪带来的机遇和挑战,面对垦区全面建设小康社会和率先实现农业现代化的新形势,农场工会组织能否最大限度地履行职能,维护好、发展好、实现好广大职工群众的根本利益,把广大职工群众紧紧地团结在党的周围,在很大程度上取决于垦区基层工会干部素质的髙低.

＂Marikana Has Come to the Farms!!!＂： An Analysis of the Socio-Economic Impact of the November 2012-January 2013 Farm Workers＇ Strike in the Western Cape

In August 2012 a bloody strike broke out at the Marikana platinum mine, close to Rustenburg in the Northwest Province. The strike, involving 3,000 African miners, became violent and police opened fire and killed 34 people. The issue of minimum wages and union recognition, inter alia, were underlying causes of this strike. The much televised Marikana strike had a knock-on effect and a few months later a widespread strike broke out among workers in the agricultural sector of the Western Cape. Large-scale destruction of property and crop damage took place on farms reaching levels of militancy never previously encountered in this sector. As in the case of the Marikana strike the root causes of the strike action in the Western Cape seemed to be the question of minimum wages, and, to a lesser extent, union recognition and other social issues involving political undertones. This article explores the socio-economic causes of the strike and its ramifications for labour and agriculture in the province.
