South Africa’s largest labor union is in discussions with other workers’ organizations on forming a new labor party.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa will deliberate the matter at a special congress planned for Dec. 13 to Dec. 16 in Johannesburg, according to documents the group released today. An internal survey of Congress of South African Trade Unions shop stewards last year showed 65 percent would join a new labor party. No margin of error was given.
