NUMSA has unveiled plans to work with other progressive parties to lead the country, saying they disapprove of the DA's inclusion in the Government of National Unity. They believe that the DA's presence prevents liberation of the working class and will create a united front of trade unions to tackle poverty, unemployment, and inequality. NUMSA also aims to assemble all progressive political parties to lead as a unified force.
