HE. South African motor assembly industry is the

latest to be subjected to job reservation. This has come as a result of demands made by the all-White trade union, the S.A. Iron and Steel Trades’ Association.

In 1960 the union was given official recognition in the motor assembly industry and an Eastern Cape Motor Assembly Workers’ Branch of the union was formed in Port Elizabeth.

An intensive campaign was embarked upon to persuade the Government te reserve assembly jobs for Whites, At the 1963 conference of the union, Mr. L. J. van den Berg, the general secretary, reported that as soon as job reservation was applied to the industry, the union would gain 2,000 members.
