Numsa’s national spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi says this is nothing more than Cosatu’s desperate attempt to remain relevant.
NUmsa has accused Cosatu and Fedusa which are part of Nedlac of promoting neoliberal economic capitalist policies, regardless of how damaging they are to workers.
The new federation is set to lodge a section 77 notice, to signal plans to change the economy.

Numsa's national executive committee met at weekend to discuss the prospect of forming a federation.
The court ruled that Numsa will not be included in Cosatu's special congress next month.
Cosatu says Numsa abused the trust of its members by appealing for its inclusion in the federation's congress.
The union & federation will battle it out in the High Court to have the expulsion decision reversed.
