TUC welcomes South African union action on Zimbabwe

Commenting on the refusal by South African dock workers to unload a shipment of arms destined for Zimbabwe's armed forces, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: 'While others just talk about Zimbabwe, unions in South Africa are actually doing something.

'The dock workers' refusal to unload arms destined for Mugabe's thugs is a positive move. It should shame politicians around the region to stop talking and start acting on Zimbabwe's crisis.

'The TUC supports fully the South African trade union movement's practical solidarity with Zimbabwe's trade unions.'
