This survey was conducted shortly before the elections in 2014, in a context in which government economic policy had not fundamentally shifted to the left and the massacre of 34 mineworkers at Marikana by the South African Police Service had fundamentally shaken the labour landscape, with mineworkers not only striking against their employers, but also their union, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). Cosatu leaders had started to openly criticise levels of corruption in the State, while a `tectonic shift' took place when the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) was expelled from Cosatu at the end of 2014. In its analysis of the survey, Labour Beyond Cosatu shows that Cosatu, fragmented and weakened through fi ssures in its alliance with the African National Congress, is no longer the only dominant force influencing South Africa's labour landscape. Contributors also examine aspects such as changing patterns of class; workers' incomes and their lifestyles; workers' relationship to civil society movements and service delivery protests; and the politics of male power and privilege in trade unions. The trenchant analysis in Labour Beyond Cosatu exhibits fiercely independent and critically engaged labour scholarship, in the face of shifting alliances currently shaping the contestation between authoritarianism and democracy."--Back cover. 610 20 $a Cosatu. 610 27 $a Cosatu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00653924 650 0 $a Labor unions $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Industrial relations $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Labor movement $z South Africa. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government $y 1994- 650 7 $a Industrial relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971609 650 7 $a Labor movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990079 650 7 $a Labor unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990260 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 648 7 $a Since 1994 $2 fast 700 1 $a Bezuidenhout, Andries, $e editor. 700 1 $a Tshoaedi, Malehoko, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019022108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94F95570580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
