First(?) International Mineworkers Meeting, Chile, August 2012 (WFTU Bulletin, Athens, Greece)
Peter sez:
Although I have above suggested some scepticism about whether this is, in fact, the first-ever such meeting (mineworker internationals must go back to the 19th century), it will be interesting to see what kind of appeal this meeting, promoted by the Communist WFTU, will have. I await with interest the promised charter. And I would love to see an independent report of the event itself. Anyone have an idea about how we could get such a report?

Democratic Alliance-Cosatu Conflict in South Africa (Leonard Gentle, ILRIG, Cape Town)
Peter sez:
For those unfamiliar with the troubles confronting the Cosatu - and even for those minimally informed, such as me - it might be best to read the last few paragraphs.
