National Strike tomorrow

Hi guys,

I've just been informed as well, there will be a national strike tomorrow across all sectors. We've been warned that you should be careful when going to work and going back to your homes and be vigilant when traveling anywhere tomorrow so that you don't accidentally run into any angry mobs.

So please - take care out there. This country of us sucks balls, just make sure it doesn't kick yours.

Just another day in south africa then...
sigh

Make sure to go fill up your tank since a lot of them are also striking now.

Apparently some petrol stations are still operating as per normal but the guys are showing up out-of-uniform so they don't get beat-up by those morons who ARE striking. I don't think we have too much to worry about. A lot of the people who have an IQ higher than 10 are realizing that striking is NOT the answer to everything and it's not worth the risk to lose your job so that someone else can get 1% more on his/her paycheck.

*sigh*

Just read a headline saying that VW closed their MASSIVE Uitenhage plant because of the last strike.

I hope no one here is waiting for a new VW? :S

I personally hope that this strike completely SMASHES our economy into such a bad state that all 1.3 Million of those striking morons lose their jobs and end up with their asses on the streets.

Well VW is a huge account with our company and a lot our work came from Uitenhage. So now all these strikers are sitting without jobs anyway and other people lose work as a result.

Those are the ONLY people I have sympathy for. How many innocent people have died due to hospitals that stopped functioning? How many school students are going to fail this year due to their education being disrupted not only by the silly soccer, but by this useless strike?

Flippen gemors wat hulle self "mense" noem.

Well happy for once the governments is not just giving them what they want this will not last long they are going to start missing there pay checks so they are going to get violent or going to go back to work, I think it will be the first option. I mean can't they think straight international investors don't want to invest here because of this very reason witch means less money for them at the end of the day and less jobs.

Neo the fact that innocent people have died, at which the unions simply shrug their shoulders, is another thread altogether. It is despicable.

Sgt, yes the government is sticking to their guns (well sort of), but they bought this mess on themselves by allowing Vavi and the unions to blackmail companies (and now the government themselves) into doing their bidding, with no responsibility for their actions at all.

Remember, our military was going to strike to show solidarity, so violence won't even be curbed if it gets to that.

Bleak days ....
