Workers r already threatened with no work no pay. Cosatu will do nothing while their leadership will receive dollars from the man they support.

And what will that do nothing their is no money to do anything it’s all stolen by the ANC gangs

What a laugh....they don't do any work anyway....

There are no longer unions in SA, only cheque collectors. The shutdown is fake. All those people who will be in that march are people working at union houses and shopstewards. Real government workers will be at their offices doing the work because they are not allowed to march.

And damage the economy more. A NO BRAINER. Its like burning the train today and then tomorrow wait for it to come.
