"In the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), affiliates such as NUM and NUMSA, FAWU and SACCAWU to name a few, are fighting it out for the hearts and minds of members in the same workplace. The policy of one country-one federation-one industry-one union has been allowed to be trashed by affiliates. If affiliates do not even respect the policies of its mother organisation, how will they respect the policies of companies in which their members operate. The workplace has become a battleground again like in the 1980s, to the detriment of the employer. Unions need to seriously re-establish contact with their members, and take responsibility for their own actions and those of their members."

"Centralised bargaining was traditionally favoured by the bigger unions that were in favour of the concept of majoritarianism - the union that forms the majority has all the organisational and bargaining rights. In the process, such unions became the sole voice for all employees. This defeated the objective of workplace democracy in essence. In cases where this situation has now been turned around, some unions prefer to go back to decentralised bargaining as it puts them in a position to deal with site specific issues and gives them a voice which they would not have had in a winner-takes-it-all situation of centralised bargaining" says Jacobs
