There has been little outcry over as many as 1-million people awaiting full UIF emergency funding

a dispute when it comes to extra money for their members but are absolutely silent when it comes to helping out people who have been retrenched or lost their jobs because of the lockdown .

For the past four months hundreds of thousands of employees have been starving because of no payment from the emergency Unemployment Insurance Fund funding. The trade union movement has largely been silent, though I believe Cosatu has at least started an advice office to help some of its members submit claims to the UIF.1-million employees have not received their full payment from the emergency funding. This is one instance where it is clear that the government has failed the workers of SA.
