# Trade union Solidarity says progress has been made in resolving delays in the issuing of Red Seal certificates to artisans. Stakeholders have agreed on steps to clear the backlog and improve the certification process. The talks follow the union’s legal action on behalf of 87 artisans whose certificates had been delayed. Solidarity’s Stef Pretorius says the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations must now submit a consolidated plan to the court by 28 October.
