What do these people want? This is enough increase. Look, if you demand 12% it doesn't mean you will get that exact 12%. Anything about 8% should be good enough...

Eish ya...now i can finally get my Rizla. You'll be surprised what the shortage of rolling paper will do the economy. I think there needs to be an overall wage increase (if there is such a thing) in the labour market to avoid these situation coz they are really messing up the economy.

WTF MODERATOR??? WHAT"S OFFENSIVE IN THIS:

The worry I have is that SATAWU supporters have shown a huge inclination toward violence and intimidation, so these workers are at very real risk, unless SATAWU leadership can control their people.

The Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu), the Professional Transport Workers’ Union and the Motor Transport Workers’ Union — agreed to suspend their strike activities from 4pm on Tuesday.
The decision by the three small unions puts pressure on the biggest labour group, the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu), which represents about 28,000 workers, to reach a deal and suspend its calls to widen the strike to ports and rails.

These violent strikes will never stop - they achieve the outcome they want.

Wonder if there are going to be any arrests after this? Doubt it.

These striking chaps can be unreasonable and stupid...last week there was a guy at Anglo American saying if they don't want to pay them accordingly then they (the mine) must take their machinery and equipment and leave S.A......I mean dat will put a strain on their lives coz I'm sure R5000 is better than nothing.
