[Marxism] Failed Strike Shows up ZCTU Shortcomings

[Greg McDonald <sabocat59@xxxxxxx>]

...The ZCTU's influence has also been weakened by the emergence of  
splinter groups, some of them instigated by government. The analyst  
referred to the Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions, ZFTU, which has  
close links to the ruling Zanu-PF party.

Each time the ZCTU calls for mass action, the ZFTU comes out in the  
state media attacking it as an imperialist plot against the  
government. There are also associations linked to industrial and  
municipal workers which have opposed the ZCTU, thus diluting its  
representative character.
