The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) will meet labour federation Cosatu to discuss resolutions taken at the union's special national congress in December only if it was sent an agenda, spokesman Castro Ngobese said. "We have indicated to them a date we are willing to meet as long as they furnish us with an agenda. If [there is] no agenda, we won't be in a position to meet," he stated. He also denied reports that a meeting would be held on Friday, saying that the union had informed Cosatu it could not meet because it would be holding a national shop stewards' council and was would then be having a national political school to discuss implementing decisions taken at the special congress. At the congress, Numsa resolved not to support the ANC in the forthcoming general elections and called for President Jacob Zuma to resign. Last week, Cosatu president S'dumo Dlamini said a letter had been sent to Numsa asking for a meeting to discuss the resolutions.
