'As a labour movement, we cannot afford to politicise our core functions. When we help...workers, it must not be because an election is coming. If we do that, we lose credibility - (that) before a general election we push for something, then after the election our workplan changes.
'People are not stupid, workers are not stupid, union leaders are not stupid.'
