One of Cosatu's biggest affiliates, the SA Democratic Teachers Union, is taking it to court over a congress resolution to support the SACP. | politicsblahbla
The rifts between Cosatu's public sector unions have deepened, with the SA Democratic Teachers Union taking the highly unusual step of dragging Cosatu and all of its affiliates to court over the federation's resolution to back the SA Communist Party in elections.
