The Failure of Labor Conflict Institutionalization in South African Mines Taking the strikes that have shaken the South African mining sector since 2012 as my point of departure, I examine the strikers' rejection of their historic trade union and its implications for post-apartheid labor relations. Criticizing the sometimes over-hasty denunciation of the corruption and bureaucratization of dominant trade union actors, I offer an interpretation of industrial conflict from the perspective of negotiation among actors in the mining sector. Ethnographic observation reveals the broader process by means of which labor conflict is institutionalized. In so doing, it shows that it is indeed the construction of a trade union monopoly – concomitant with this process – that raises problems for the activist base, who continue to resist the negotiated dynamic that has transformed the South African mining sector since 1994.
