End racism now!

Aug 28, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

The Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU) rejects all forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and intolerance, including institutional racism and racial prejudices, and stereotyping during the period of the general and regional elections.

CCWU denounces demagogic politicians and institutions, who exploit the legitimate concerns of people about economics.

Social and public insecurity, issues related to reputation and victimisation, and a multi-ethnic society, many members of which are themselves affected by the insecurity for which they are sometimes held responsible.

CCWU criticises politicians and institutions that have manipulated public concerns about economic changes over the past five years, stating that the outcome is clear.

CCWU notes increasing xenophobia and urges trade unions to address it among members and the public:

  • Ensure adequate protection and remedies against discrimination based on race, colour, origin, language, religion, or belief.
  • Define racism as a criminal offence and prohibit the dissemination of racist or xenophobic propaganda, or any related actions, regardless of whether they occur orally or in writing, through any form of media (such as press, letters, or the Internet).
  • Implement strategies in areas such as public statements, education, and media to address prejudices and stereotypes that contribute to racial discrimination or xenophobia.

Yours faithfully,

Sherwood Clarke

General Secretary

CCWU
