Links to Labour, Internet Resources throughout the World

This page aims to provide a labour links resource, primarily for South African trade unionists and labour activists. Its focus is thus on African links, mainly those in South Africa. The page contains information about and links to a variety of web sites and pages, as well as to struggles with which COSATU expresses its solidarity. There is also a facility to request a new link or to point out an error.

Many of the web sites listed here are described in their own words. The inclusion of a link does not necessarily imply that COSATU endorses the organisation or site.
