South Africa and the Changing Politics of LabourPart 1: The Demise of COSATU
Leonard Gentle

http://www.socialistproject.ca/bullet/1027.php#continue

...So this article will claim that understanding the changing politics of
labour requires us to step *outside* the confines of the trade unions and
not even to take the trade unions as a point of departure, let alone a lens
for viewing the developments within the trade unions. Instead it will
privilege the changing make-up of the working-class and the changing
political consciousness of a new movement of class struggle emerging today
and assess events such as the NUMSA moment, the COSATU internal crisis, the
emergence of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Mineworkers_and_Construction_Union>
(AMCU) and the changing national political landscape against these
yardsticks.--
