Help South African Farm Workers Fight for Their Rights

If you've been keeping up with the International Solidarity Commission of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a radical left labor union, then you would be familiar with the CSAAWU. The IWW has been working in solidarity with them for the past few months.

CSAAWU, or Commercial Stevedoring Agriculture and Allied Workers Union, is a socialist union in South Africa. They are currently struggling for the rights of poor, black farm workers. Faced with poverty conditions, these workers are subject to an economic apartheid. Whites own and manage the farms (as well as the factories associated with them) and native Africans work them for low wages.

Below is a powerful video that can explain things better than this blogger. If you call yourself a leftist, a unionist, a Maoist, or what have you, then you'd pitch in a few dollars to The Partisan's fund to help the CSAAWU. The money collected will be sent to our comrades in South Africa via our local IWW members. No amount is too little! Simply click the donate option on the left side of the screen.
