Following an industry-wide strike led by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, the South African government’s Registrar of Labour Relations threatened to deregister the union. The union has decided to pursue legal action in an attempt to remain registered, insisting that it remains in compliance with the law. The President of the union considers the deregistration threat a “political attack” and intends to meet with the Registrar on Tuesday.
