They are useless if that is the case.

Cosatu leaders are silent about this and are only preparing a mock fight, at best a 1-day strike and then no follow up; we have seen the same approach on high food prices- all talk and no action; the Cosatu and SACP leaders are the main obstacle to a fight against the imperialist attack; Cosatu leaders should spend less time promoting the 2010 soccer hoax and more on mobilising the working class; can we really trust Cosatu leaders who live side by side with the billionaires in Sandton and who earn R50 000 a month, more than 25 times the average wage of the worker? Down with the Cosatu leadership!
