Fagforeningers rolle i apartheidtiden?
Trade unions in South Africa
Fagforeningerne i Sydafrika har en historie, der går helt tilbage til 1880'erne. Fra begyndelsen kunne fagforeningerne ses som en afspejling af landets raceadskillelse, idet de tidligste fagforeninger overvejende var for hvide arbejdere. I de turbulente år 1948-1991 spillede fagforeningerne en vigtig rolle i udviklingen af politisk og økonomisk modstand og var i sidste ende en af drivkræfterne bag overgangen til en demokratisk regering, der ikke udelukkede alle.
Trade unions in South Africa have a history dating back to the 1880s. From the beginning unions could be viewed as a reflection of the racial disunity of the country, with the earliest unions being predominantly for white workers. Through the turbulent years of 1948–1991 trade unions played an important part in developing political and economic resistance, and eventually were one of the driving forces in realising the transition to an inclusive democratic government.
