Media Statement: FEDUSA RALLIES BEHIND UASA IN PROTECTED SUGAR INDUSTRY STRIKE
20 August 2026

The Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) rallies behind its affiliate, UASA, as its members in the sugar industry embark on a protected strike over wage negotiations and improved benefits.

The workers’ demands include wage increases and improved benefits that adequately reflect the economic realities facing workers. Rising costs of food, fuel, electricity, transport and housing continue to place significant pressure on household incomes, making meaningful wage adjustments essential for workers and their families.

FEDUSA urges the employer to engage meaningfully with UASA and listen to the workers’ demands to avoid a prolonged strike. Good-faith negotiations with unions not only support employees but also contribute to constructive labour relations and strengthen the organization.

Therefore, FEDUSA amplifies UASA’s call for all members participating in the protected strike to continue conducting themselves peacefully, responsibly and in full compliance with the law. FEDUSA will continue to engage with UASA on developments regarding the negotiations and the strike.

UASA Media Release: 20 August 2026

UASA participates in FEDUSA gender policy review workshop

In picture: Delegates attending the FEDUSA Social Justice Committee Follow-up session.

Statement by Abigail Moyo, spokesperson of the trade union UASA:

UASA, as part of organised labour, joined fellow affiliates of the Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) for a two-day Social Justice Committee follow-up session to review and strengthen the federation's gender policy ahead of the FEDUSA National Congress in October.

The workshop builds on discussions and resolutions from the FEDUSA National Gender Conference held last year and forms part of the federation's ongoing commitment to advancing gender equality in the world of work.

This year's engagement is held under the theme, "Strengthening Gender Policy Through a Feminist Lens: Addressing Sexual Offences and Gender Justice in the World of Work".

Taking place during Women's Month, the session provides an important platform for organised labour to reflect on progress made in promoting gender equality while identifying areas that require further attention and meaningful intervention. It also reinforces the commitment of trade unions and social partners to advancing women's rights and creating more inclusive workplaces.

FEDUSA's gender policy recognises gender equality and equity as fundamental human rights and acknowledges that discrimination and inequality continue to affect workplaces, trade unions and organisations. The policy addresses critical issues such as occupational discrimination, equal pay for work of equal value, workplace violence, sexual harassment, and the underrepresentation of women in leadership and decision-making structures.

UASA believes that strong and effective policies are among the most powerful instruments available to shape a fair, just and equitable world of work. During the workshop, delegates are examining how the revised gender policy aligns with South Africa's constitutional framework as well as relevant International Labour Organization (ILO) standards and principles.

Importantly, the outcomes of these discussions will contribute directly to resolutions that will be tabled and considered at the upcoming FEDUSA National Congress.

As a proud FEDUSA affiliate, UASA welcomes the opportunity to participate in this constructive and forward-looking process. The union remains committed to supporting initiatives that advance workplace dignity, equality and decent work for all.

For UASA, gender equality is not a peripheral issue but a fundamental pillar of its broader mission to promote fairness, dignity and equal opportunities for every worker.
The workshop is being held at the Garden Court O.R. Tambo International Airport.

[UNDERWAY] Through its Social Justice Committee, FEDUSA is reflecting on the FEDUSA National Gender Conference that was held last year. The conference reaffirmed that a safe, inclusive, and equitable workplace cannot exist without confronting patriarchy, embedding feminist values within union structures, and protecting the mental and emotional well-being of all workers.

This year’s conference is held under the theme: “Strengthening Gender Policy Through a Feminist Lens: Addressing Sexual Offences and Gender Justice in the World of Work.”

Media Statement: FEDUSA WELCOMES AGOA EXTENSION
19 August 2026


The Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) welcomes the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) through to the end of 2028. The United States Senate has approved a crucial two-year extension of AGOA, but the Bill still requires the signature of United States President Donald Trump.

The extension presents an important opportunity to support continued economic growth and transformation while enabling South African businesses, particularly small and emerging enterprises, to expand their customer base, increase revenue and access global markets without facing steep import tariffs. FEDUSA urges South African businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, to make full use of this opportunity.

The confirmation of South Africa’s continued eligibility for AGOA is welcomed by FEDUSA, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding the country’s participation amid strained relations between South Africa and the United States.

FEDUSA calls on government, business and social partners to work together to maximise the benefits of AGOA and ensure that South African businesses, workers and the broader economy benefit from this opportunity.
