Zusammenfassung:"Mandlenkosi Makhoba tells the story of the struggles of metalworkers in the hostels and factoires of the East Rand (now Ekurhuleni). Petrus Tom tells the story of his life and work in the Vaal Triangle, first as a metalworker in a cable factory and later as a full-time union organiser. Both of these men describe what it was like to be a union member in the days when apartheid was being challenged and worker power was being forged in militant struggles. Their stories shed light on the struggles of workers everywhere in South Africa for better working conditions and a better life. Through the eyes of these two men, we see the shop-floor struggles of workers for rights and dignity. We see the horror of the Sharpeville killings, the repression of the 1960s and the resurgence of unions in the 1970s and 1980'. These stories were first published in the mid-1980s, and they contribute to the tale of South Africa's rich political and cultural history"--Back cover
