COSATU backs Employment Services Amendment Bill [SOUND]

# COSATU has welcomed the tabling of the Employment Services Amendment Bill in Parliament, saying it addresses the employment of undocumented migrant workers. The Bill would allow Employment and Labour Minister Nomakhosazana Meth to set limits on the number of documented migrant workers employed in a workplace, region, sector or profession. COSATU spokesperson Matthew Parks says the limits are needed amid what he describes as extremely high unemployment, at 43.8-percent overall and more than 60-percent among young people:
