Federation of South African Labour Unions

Warofdreams: affiliates in 1996


The '''Federation of South African Labour Unions''' (FEDSAL) was a [[national trade union federation]] in [[South Africa]].

* Motor Industry Staff Association
* Nedbank Staff Association
* [[Underground Officials' Association]]
* Vereeniging van Gesalarieerde Nywerheidspersoneel

The [[South African Society of Bank Officials]] expressed interest in joining, but it ultimately did not do so.<ref name="functional" /> However, the dissolution of the [[Trade Union Council of South Africa]] in 1986 attracted new affiliates. It campaigned against the introduction of [[Value Added Tax]], for a National Economic Forum, and to restructure the National Manpower Commission. It began admitting unions representing any workers, and in 1992 renamed itself as FEDSAL. By 1993, it had 13 affiliates, with a total of 204,176 members.<ref>[[International Labour Organization]] (1993), ''Special Report of the Director-general on the Application of the Declaration Against Apartheid''</ref> Its affiliates in 1996 were:<ref name="trends">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
