Cosatu Labor Federation Reconvenes in Gauteng to Address Economic Challenges

The labor federation Cosatu is reconvening its 15th national congress in Gauteng on October 12. The congress aims to address pressing challenges facing its members, including unemployment, retrenchments, and the rising cost of living. The gathering is taking place after initial attempts to hold the event collapsed due to disputes over delegate eligibility.

The congress will address major national labor issues, such as retrenchments and unemployment, which directly influence the labor market and the cost of living across South Africa. The federation spokesperson stated that the congress must proceed with unity to defend workers and advance the interests of the working class.
