Cape Town – Business Unity South Africa believes the impact of Wednesday’s national strike by the country’s labour unions and federations will be counterproductive.that while they understood the issues which have pushed workers to strike, it would have a severe impact on the economy, diminishing investor confidence in the country even further. Ironically, Coovadia pointed out that the strike was, among others, the continued decline of the economy.
Busa did, however, identify with the issues raised by labour around corruption, among other issues, which had led to the protest. “We are convening this action under the Covid-19 lockdown alert level one regulations. This means that we have a responsibility not to undermine the fight against this deadly coronavirus that has killed so many of our compatriots,” the trade federation said.Cosatu general secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali said: “We need to take a stand and push back against this flagrant theft of taxpayer funds and the disgraceful abandonment of the working class by policymakers and decision makers.
The government has come under fire from organised labour over its refusal to honour the 2018 multi-term three-year wage increase agreement this year, which unions say is the sign that the ANC-led government was attempting to undermine collective bargaining.
It is good for you to make such comments sitting on a comfortable chair 💺 in an office with air conditioner. You are not affected by the conditions of employment the masses experience on daily basis.
The economy is for white people anyway, let it hit them hard , blacks are struggling , strike or no strike
Red is the colour for stupid.
