Abstract of Article

Title:	Trade Unions and the ANC in the 'New' South Africa
Author:	Gregor Gall
Location:	Vol.24 No.72 (June 1997), pp203-218

The article considers the relationship between the trade union movement and the African National Congress in the post-apartheid period. Following their close historical relationship in the struggle to defeat apartheid, the trade union movement could reasonably have expected a large and influential role in the new government with reforms to increase members' rights at work and terms and conditions of employment. The article explores the roots of the tensions between the two over these issues.
