Description: ON 14th July 1987, for the first time in South African history, there was a national strike in the metal industry. About 350 factories stopped work all over the country in support of the NUMSA demand for a living wage. Metalworkers voted overwhelmingly for strike action in the national ballot that was conducted between 6th and 8th July. The strike was set for the 14th July. Workers were ready to fight SEIFSA until they won. The militancy of workers could be seen from the huge attendance at local meetings. During the week of the ballot shop stewards were gathering in huge numbers in the union offices to discuss problems and plan strategy. In the Eastern Cape a general meeting of over 400 workers was held to discuss plans.
