IOL News reports that the Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) has resolved to leave Cosatu after six of seven provinces present at its national congress explained their members wanted nothing to do with the labour federation.
Delivering mandates given by members to the gathering being held in Bela Bela, Limpopo, provincial leaders told congress that staying within Cosatu while their ideologies were no longer aligned would be a waste of time. However, shop stewards from the Western Cape said their members did not want to leave Cosatu as yet. The union indicated it was yet to resolve on whether to establish a new federation or form part of the mooted new organisation being championed by the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) and axed Cosatu general secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi.
