Abstract:This study traces the history of the South African Trade and labour Council from its origins in the 1920s to its demise in the early 1950s. It focuses on South Africa's secondary industrialisation and subsequent changes in work organisation. By analysing trade union structures and strategies in the context of these changes, the author shows how division within the labour movement were bound up with the development of production processes and the division of labour, rather than being the inevitable outcome of racial antagonisms.
