We are pleased to inform you, that the amendments to the current SIASU Constitution has been approved by the Registrar of Trade Unions on 22 March 2019. The need for the amendments is due to the Union’s membership increase over the last 4 years. There is further potential for growth in membership numbers as SIA and its subsidiaries continue to hire staff and also due to some mergers. The amendments are to ensure that representation is proportionate to the membership strength. The current and the amended Constitution is appended below:

At the Special Convention of Delegates held on 25 January 2019, the motions were tabled and SIASU delegates voted in favour of the amendments and the new amended rules will be incorporated into the Constitution.
