Farm workers to intensify strike: Cosatu

[James]

Farm workers in the Western Cape will intensify their strike in the coming week, Cosatu said on Sunday.

"The farmworkers have taken a decision to intensify the strike, because the farmers are not serious about the negotiations to find a solution," said Congress of SA Trade Unions Western Cape secretary Tony Ehrenreich.

"Some farmers have indicated their willingness to increase above R100, but a number of bad farmers are opposing this," he said.

geeezus cryst! they should just give the basturds the money they want but then take away all the other benefits they seem to forget. like the food and clothes handouts. and they can then pay for the roofs over their heads that they've been GIVEN for free as well

Transport, accommodation, food and education subsidies among other things. My sister in law's father is a farmer, and he pays for everything for his workers - who are at the moment sitting at their houses on his instruction while the bussed in rent-a-crowd trash the town.

Last time I post in these threads. Really.
