The Community Action Tenants Union – An Organisation of People’s Power

Posted on September 29, 2021January 3, 2022 by CYM Committee

“The idea of CATU is a union outside of the workplace. An organisation that is built by the community to organise and fight for the community’s interests. The scope is extremely large. Primarily, CATU is involved in the housing struggle because it believes that real power lies in the hands of ordinary people when they unite together to defend their interests against those that exploit our communities and turn housing into a mere commodity. Ordinary people, organised, united, and standing ready to fight for their interests scares the living daylights out of exploiters and those who take their trust for granted. The statement that real power lies in the hands of ordinary people is entirely correct.”

Additionally, the digitised access control system will limit entry to certain parts of the building, based on the number of people in the space.
