The New Age reports that labour federation Cosatu is preparing for life without the Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) and its 127,000 members.
General secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali acknowledged on Sunday that Cosatu had been bogged down by internal divisions, but said Fawu’s exit meant that the organisation was turning a new page. “We are trying to consolidate because the strength of the federation lies with its affiliates. We are gradually making progress, signs of unity are beginning to emerge,” he said. Ntshalintshali also maintained that the federation’s affiliates’ show of force on Friday in its one-day national strike on decent work and other issues augured well for organisational unity.
