Are you enjoying the sight of the ANC getting a taste of their own medicine, "Mass Action"? |
Travel Info I certainly am. Although I in no way condone or enjoy what effect the strike is having on the infirm and elderly at our state run hospitals. Do you think we will see anti trade union and striking legislation in the coming months or at least legislation to make strikes more difficult through great amounts of "red tape"? What should be done as regards nurses, doctors, paramedics and police officers that choose to strike i your opinion? Should they be prosecuted or allowed to strike? Travel Tips I dont know if you noticed that the day that the actually striked how little traffic there were and almost no crime All of them was to busy striking Maybe the big heads in the government should stop being so corrupt and then there will be more money to give to the people who needs it For the doctors and nurses - when you decide to become a doctor or nurse you do so because you want to help other people and not for the money so for striking just shows what they feel for people in need For the teachers i am fully behind them children of today have to respect for others and they simple dont listen to the teacher they do what they want when they want how long is it going to take before the teacher will have to give class behide a glass window like in the UK Others I thought you may like to read this article which shows this strike is far more than about wages but also about a power struggle within the ANC. Regarding the monet side isnt this so typically African? They cannot maintain anything -witness the inner Cities of South Africa,Roads,Transport,Eskom,s... of food,LPG etc- and in this case the unwillingness to pay Health workers a half decent salary and allowing the Country to be held to ransom. You are probably focused on the outcomes of the strike but it is important to look at the root cause. Nevertheless Trade Union workers have a long history of throwing semi civilised behaviour out of the window when it comes to striking and allowing violence and intimidation to take over. What I foresee happening is your Constitution being changed bearing in mind it was written by a Canadian academic and had little to do with the ANC whose only role (under International pressure) was to accept it. First step may be "Life President" Mbeki or at best a puppet President in place where Mbeki calls the shots. As far as Unions go then in the longer term (once this lot has quietened down) their rights and activities will be curtailed as the ANC,like their brothers to the North, will not accept any challenge to their totalitarian authority. http://www.ever-fasternews.com/index.php... I am enjoying it. Some kind of legislation has to be done with regards to striking ! I think it is ZimS ' sister who past away recently and there were a lack of capable help at hospital due to the strike .Man ,I am still deeply upset since i read it ! NO nurses ,paramedics ,doctors or police officers should be allowed to strike .It should be a criminal offense punished severely by law ! it's a thing of beauty. the anc came into power with an attitude of note, and now see that there ways are not the best. i feel that it's time for the anc to shift it's mindset, or hand over the reigns to someone that can actually do something with the country. the current regime is suffering with more corruption and worthless officials than ever before, and yet they put on this happy face and say things are improving. i suppose it's the ostrick syndrome, but these problems will not go away unless some drastic action is taken. the general has spoken. Well you have not seen nothing yet. Tomorrow apparently its going to be massive even the Taxis and buses are getting in on the act. Braise yourselves for tomorrow its going to be big. Well the government had it coming they don't want to define who the essential workers are because, that means they will have to pay them more. It's a free country I feel they should all strike. If the government is does not value the nurses then it does not value us therefore I support the nurses. I'm actually not... Why? Because the rest of us suffer along with them even though there are people who couldnt give a rats @ss about ANC... Why should an infant trying to get her shots also get a taste of ANC's medicine when she doesnt even know or care about its existence? Like Trevor said yesterday... "When has the right to strike ever been dominant over a persons life?".... At the end of the day, ANC can go to their private doctors in Sandton... and those who cant afford private facilities will have to deal with it. I think these striking nurses and so forth are the ones responsible for bad service always reported. The attacked few who refused to strike are the ones who do their jobs properly. The laziest is always the first to complain.... They should be held accountable for anything that goes wrong whilst striking. They should know, crime was comitted and people were maybe killed whilst a cop was striking, that a child lost its life a second after coming into the world because some nurse was toyi toying instead of doing what is humane! |
