- Description: From Cosatu’s inception in 1985, the federation developed a close association with the Congress movement. Conditions in the country dictated the need to go beyond bread and butter issues to embrace national and class struggle. This perspective was formally endorsed with Cosatu’s adoption of the Freedom Charter in 1987. The 1987 Congress agreed Cosatu should build alliances with mass-based organisations with a track record of struggle and whose principles did not conflict with those of Cosatu. After the unbanning of the liberation movement, Cosatu’s 1991 Congress resolved that the Federation should join the ANC and SACP in alliance in place of Sactu, thus becoming part of the Tripartite Alliance as we know it today.

- Description: Keynote addresses were delivered by the Acting General Secretary, Cde Muzi Buthelezi, Cde Jay Naidoo COSATU General Secretary and CWIU President, Cde Don Gumede. Cde Gumede outlined the purposes of the conference “to assess progress and problems, to plan our path in order to provide a clear programme towards centralised bargaining as a result of proper analysis”, He urged delegates “to push employers into joint employers forums to negotiate on proper wages, job creation and an end to retrenchments”. Cde Jay Naidoo addressed the conference on the burning issues of the day. He spoke about VAT, the National Economic Negotiating Forum, trade union unity and CODESA. Cde Naidoo stressed that future economic and political policies must be formulated on the basis of daily and immediate issues facing the working people. Acting General Secretary, Cde Muzi Buthelezi outlined the progress made in the struggle for centralised bargaining. “We have to note” he said, “that the chemical bosses are very tough on this question. They do not want to negotiate, meet or do anything as an industry. They want to keep all activities at a plant or company level”. The remainder of the conference was given the task of redefining the sectors within the chemical industry, developing core demands and outlining a programme of action. Delegates broke into their different sectors to discuss these issues before returning to plenary to thrash out the major steps to be taken by the union in the coming months.
