Business blames unions for weak economy

Business Leadership SA boss says labour's inability to compromise on salaries at Eskom and on its unbundling has weighed on growthBLSA CEO Bonang Mohale says workers' above-inflation salary increases at Eskom in 2018 are partly to blame for SA's low growth. Picture: SUNDAY TIMES

The business organisation, which represents more than 70 of the country’s biggest companies, said labour’s inability to compromise on salaries at Eskom and the unbundling of the embattled power utility has weighed on the economy. While the Treasury expects growth of 1.5% in 2019 , the Reserve Bank, which expects 1.3%, said in April that if power cuts persist throughout 2019, it could shave as much as 1.1 percentage points off growth for the year and more than 100,000 job losses.

“The economy is weak because of the supply-side of the economy that doesn’t allow people to participate.”

Tut tut, and business blames unions for not agreeing to 'more flexible' lower wages. Whilst unions blame business that in nature (farming) there is no room for poverty but reject land taxes which reduce the cost of entry to nature
