DESCRIPTION:South Africa's long road to political freedom reflects only a 
 partial freedom and an unfinished project of liberation. The country remai
 ns one of the most unequal on earth and is experiencing unprecedented leve
 ls of protest and industrial action. South Africa's powerful and globally 
 revered trade unions are currently playing a central role in what are the 
 most significant political upheavals since the transition to democracy. Th
 e alliance between the unions and the ruling African National Congress (AN
 C) is in crisis\, while the unions themselves are beset by volatile intern
 ecine infighting that threatens to tear the labour movement apart. The uni
 ons therefore stand at an organisational and political crossroads. Which p
 ath they take bears huge significance for South Africa's future\, as well 
 as how we understand the role that trade unions can play in global struggl
 es for social justice in the era of neoliberal globalisation.
