    I will join SADTU.

    I have always been a member of a student union since my secondary education. SADTU seems to be a union that represents most of the teachers in South Africa. I align myself with its goal and principles to eradicate all forms of discrimination in education and to strive towards a free and democratic system of education in South Africa.

    SAOU – They offer developmental opportunities to members and keep their members informed on issues related to the education sector. The SAOU is a teachers’ union, dedicated to the highest universal values and values of service delivery. They are a strong professional body with the power to negotiate salaries and conditions of service with the employer, and to represent members in grievances and disputes

    I don’t see the importance of a union because they are like political parties, and they also waste contact time due to meetings.

    I am an active member of Sadtu. The reason for choosing them is because of their values and understanding of the department and environment of educators. They respect the values of educators and follow all correct procedures where necessary. A union like them follow and needs to always follow all correct procedures and be up. To date with all law changes and the effects thereof.

    I will join SADTU, already received some information from a site steward at the school, that they organise workshops and teachers development training about educational legislations such as policies and education Act’s. They also support teachers to lodge disputes, resolve issues and to connect them creating a conducive working environment.

    <pre data-placeholder=”Translation” aria-label=”Translated text” data-ved=”2ahUKEwi9u8rkgcmGAxW2ZkEAHWnREZEQ3ewLegQIBRAU”>SAOU – The union is suitable for members who prefer to communicate in their language – Afrikaans. The union is always helpful and replies quickly to E-mails. The union aims to develop their members to the best of their ability with free workshops and information sessions. The union shares important information, from the department, so it becomes known to them.

    I would like to apply to the SAOU, to be a member.

    Part of being an eductor is to belong to a union that represents and serves your best interests and needs. However, teachers no longer have faith in unions. Unions are failing and selling us. What happens when unions fail to do that which they are intended to do for the betterment of the masses of teachers? I say, ban unions.
