From 1996 to 2000 SACCAWU was involved in the production of educational materials for negotiators and shops stewards around the issue of Parental Rights. This led to two publications:
– Parental Rights Negotiating Manual: The Right to Balance Family Life and Work
– A booklet for workers and leaders: Workers Are Parents Too
This booklet will briefly describe how these publications were produced, the impact of the publications on the union’s struggle for parental rights and gender equality, and some of the future challenges raised by the publications.
