This dissertation aims to critically evaluate the ways in which the trade union movement in South Africa has responded to the socio-economic effects of neoliberalism in this country, giving an obverview of these responses and their impact, and then trying to identify key weaknesses. Neoliberalism as an economic system has had far-reaching socio-political effects. In this dissertation we will show that the responses to the effects have been largely piecemeal and as such, while there have been small successes, a comprehensive strategy will be needed if there is any hope of influencing macroeconomic issues.
