The United National Transport Union (UNTU) would like to congratulate Obert Mudalahothe, our newly appointed Full-time Trade Union Representative (FTUR) in Witbank (Emalahleni), who won our Festive Season Recruitment Competition.
Obert recruited 119 new members for UNTU from 1 September 2017 until 31 October 2017. He won himself R10 000 for recruiting the most new members during this period.
“I am so glad. I will be having a good Christmas. From now on I will be known as the ultimate recruiter for UNTU,” says Obert who was informed about his good fortune while busy with an UNTU recruitment drive in Ermelo, Mpumalanga.
Obert was a train driver for Transnet Freight Rail before he was appointed as an FTUR. He loves his Union and is very dedicated to our members, ensuring that he puts their best interest first.
His secret to recruitment is that his car is his UNTU office. “Wherever I go, I have my stop order forms with me. No matter who you are, I will approach you,” says Obert.
Besides the R10 000 he also won third place in the lucky draws that was held in September and October.
Obert will also receive the canvassing fee of R100.00 per new member, which is applicable to any member that recruits a colleague.
