Trade unions in South Africa are self-serving only to the executives. It rakes in billions of Rands while casually destroying business as well as working relationships between employers and employees. Despicable organizations, despicable executives.

Although trade unions are a joke these days, they are on the payroll & are gate keeping for the Capitalists to maximize profits & Enslavement of workers, same as CCMA protecting the 'investors' ...workers need to be vigilant...

Just imagine the chaos if more lazy workers belonged to a union and also how the union leaders would have improved their lavish lifestyles!!!
