The National union of Mineworkers congratulated its ally, the National education health and allied workers union on a successful congress which ended today.

Spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said that the NUM congratulates in particular all the elected leaders of the union and also looks forward to a closer working relationship.

Seshoka said that the NUM is particularly overwhelmed by the unwavering support it received from congress in the wake of constant attacks it faces in the mining sector both from mine bosses and from so-called rivals.

He added that the special resolution sponsored and adopted by congress in support of the NUM is a living testimony of the long standing and historical comradeship the two unions enjoy and the values they both share.
