The Steering Committee for a new workers’ trade union federation is proud to announce that the Department of Labour has today officially registered the new federation under the name South African Federation of Trade Unions, subject to ratification by the launching Congress on 21-23 April 2017, or a change of name.

This is a milestone in the history of the South African Trade Union Movement and paves the way for the birth of a vibrant, independent, democratic and militant workers’ champion, which will turn the tide against exploitation, mass unemployment, poverty and inequality and take us forward to the total liberation of the working class.
