Deputy President Mashatile Urges Digital Workers Charter
7.1
Deputy President Paul Mashatile urged South Africa's four Organised Labour Federations this week at a NEDLAC event in Pretoria to develop a Digital Workers' Charter protecting retraining, data sovereignty, digital dignity and human oversight in automated systems. MISA highlighted existing upskilling for its more than 75,000 members, while a February Google Ipsos survey showed 70% of South Africans use AI chatbots.
Key Points
- 1Challenges federations to create Digital Workers' Charter protecting retraining, data sovereignty, human oversight
- 2Emphasizes AI risks to jobs and dignity, urging unions to secure reskilling and fair gains
- 3Signals need for labor-led training programs, policy influence, and employer compliance on AI governance
Scoring Rationale
Official government call elevates national AI-labor governance, but limited novelty and narrow national scope reduce wider impact.
