Cosatu News, published by COSATU, the Congress of South African Trade Unions, documents the struggle of workers to gain power in the workplace in order to improve wages and work conditions and ultimately to replace capitalism with socialism. The organised, unified strength of workers was considered by COSATU to be the strongest force against oppression and repression. The process of building worker solidarity, including women, at local, regional and national level is well documented.
