About MISA

MISA is a registered trade union organising office-, stores-, sales-, clerical staff-, apprentices/learners and qualified journeymen and was formed following the merger of the Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA) and the SA Motor Union (SAMU) with a joint history of 129 years in the Retail Motor Industry.

The combined synergy that is generated out of this merger is to the benefit of all administrative and technically qualified employees in the industry.

Members enjoy the focussed approach of a well-versed negotiating team representing the member's interests in the collective bargaining process on wages and conditions of employment at the Motor Industry Bargaining Council (MIBCO).

Qualified labour law practitioners provide free legal advice and where appropriate, the necessary legal defence to members in the resolution of labour disputes, with an enviable success. The problem solving approach that is followed is a major contributing factor in the resolution of disputes in the workplace.

The organisation has a proven track record of service of the highest order to its existing membership throughout the country.

Non-union employees are therefore encouraged to join MISA - "The Intelligent Alternative" and experience the benefits and protection of your interests..
