Not All Unions Agree with COSATU
The National Union of Metalworks (with a website with advertising?), a COSATU affiliated union, has come out strongly in a statement against COSATU leadership for “ignoring issues confronting the country’s working class” and instead attempting to “wage war” against government. It would seem some of the unions see COSATU leadership embroiling themselves in political leadership battles while neglecting their responsibility to their own members.
Now while everyone enjoys a fight between two groups of socialists (usually over who is more ‘revolutionary’ than the other) this also might indicate that some unions might not be so pro-Zuma as we have assumed in the past.
