Description

A strategic progress report presented at the T&GWU Bi-annual Congress in Johannesburg, May 1991. The document situates the union within the "period of the 90s," characterised by the challenge of transferring power to the people. It defines T&GWU as a key component of the liberation forces and the National Democratic Revolution (NDR). The report emphasises the necessity for the working class to shape the political content of the transition by advancing a specific class perspective through struggle. It calls for an honest organisational self-assessment of the sixteen months following the unbanning of political organisations.
