MISA eDATA April 2021

Dear MISA Member,

Why do we believe we can embark on an unprotected strike and not bear any consequences? In this issue, our Legal Department Manager, Tiekie Mocke, looks at why embarking on an unprotected strike is never a good idea and what the role is of collective bargaining. 

We also look at how assertive communication can improve your self-confidence, and get insight into how the Motor Industry Retirement Funds continued to perform well during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

This month is also Freedom Month in South Africa, which is why we quote the inimitable Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, when we remind ourselves of the collective responsibility that comes with freedom: “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” We certainly could not have said it any better!

Kind regards, respect your freedom – and that of those around you – and stay safe, 

Martlé Keyter
