[DEBATE] : WFTU solidarity message with COSATU

[Dominic Tweedie]

For everybody's information, the ICFTU is now part of ITUC, and the
three biggest TU federations in South Africa (COSATU, FEDUSA, and NACTU) are
all affiliated to ITUC. COSATU GS Zwelinzima Vavi is a full member of the
ITUC General Council.

In my opinion this makes the solidarity of WFTU for tomorrow's demonstration
all the more welcome.
