a call to all for mass action ....
you know what has annoyed me beyond all belief in the recent months ... the desire and ability to go on strike over just about anything! previously striking was a good thing when you doing so against poor working conditions, abuse, opression etc. etc. now it seems you can go on strike for just about anything.
just this week we've had THREE groups of people striking! SAA, municple workers, and PnP (a giant retailer in SA). the reason for the strike, well because people were not happy with the annual increases being offered.
firstly; be happy you have a JOB!
secondly; where the hell do you get off demanding an increase of 12% when you're being offered one over the current inflation levels. in today's world an inflation linked increase is a good thing. hell i have not had an increase in 3 years!!!!!! i'd love the 5% these mongrels were offered!
and finally; how the hell do you thinking crippling your company is going to give them anymore money in order to help them pay these exhorbetant amounts you hold them ransom too.
come on people ...
