SAPTU is a politically neutral union for any employee working in South Africa. The union was initially established to serve members in the parastatal and tertiary institutions fields in 1993, but now represent a wide range of members from the agricultural, hospitality, security and construction industries.
We are affiliated with FEDUSA, SATUCC, the ILO and ITUC-CSI.
