The labour department said in a statement this week that Amcu has not held an elective congress since 2013, in violation of its own constitution and had made “excuses” over why it has not done so.
The reasons provided were that the union “ceased to function in terms of its constitution” and that the “trade union is not a genuine trade union as envisaged in the Act”. Requirements monitored by the registrar include having a constitution, audited finances and holding regular elective conferences.Mathunjwa said his union was under attack by capital and other “yellow unions” because it truly represented the aspirations of workers and was militant and resolute about their rights.
Amcu — which rose to prominence during the labour unrest which led to the Marikana massacre in 2012 — began as a breakaway from the ANC-aligned National Union of Mineworkers.
