The National Union of Mineworkers was formed as a mining union in 1982. In 1985 its scope was extended to cover Energy, focusing on Eskom in the main, by the inaugural congress of COSATU. The integration of CAWU into the NUM in 2000 was in line with the 1997 COSATU resolution that included Construction in the scope of the NUM. Thus, in 2003 the National Union of Mineworkers became a Mining, Energy and Construction union. This union is proud that it has always participated in the struggle for the liberation of blacks in general, and Africans in particular and it remains a non-racial organisation. View PDF
