Trade Unions

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU)

COSATU was launched in December 1985 after four years of unity talks between unions opposed to apartheid and committed to a non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa.

The main broad strategic objectives remain after thirty years:
  • To improve material conditions of our members and of the working people as a whole
  • To organise the unorganised
  • To ensure worker participation in the struggle for peace and democracy
