If I can just the context of this was an attempt to demonstrate that in fact what presented itself very much as a conflict taking place in and around the workplace had in fact in my view been entirely shaped by a wider set of political conflicts that were taking place in the area.  And the background was the very extensive politicisation of the trade union movement, the particular concerns with the IFP at that stage to utilise both UWUSA and hostels as key recruiting grounds in an area in preparation in the course of the negotiation process.
	The portion that I quote was drawn from a letter which reflected attempts by the IFP to secure that kind of stronghold and it was a letter to Langeberg management demanding amongst other things:
"The immediate re-employment of all IFP members that had been dismissed from the factory."
The reason I think this is important is because at that stage these were being referred to as IFP rather than UWUSA members and it's very important that both in the minds of a large number of the protagonists at the time, there was actually little distinction between FAWU and the ANC at that time and UWUSA and the IFP and this by reference to a letter on IFP letterhead to the management.   So there was an active process of engagement between the IFP and management in those guises. 
	The quote does go on to look at a demand, point 3:
"Disallowing the existence of any trade union in company premises."
And it suggests, certainly in the context it was very strongly motivated by the IFP at that stage, that they were trying to get FAWU's recognition undone as the majority union in that area or as part of a wider political struggle.
