Unions are nothing but terrorists.

It is a bit too late for him to realize that.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

So if the SA aviation industry is truly dead, they'll incite other sectors (Eskom etc) to strike as well?

Interesting times.

Perhaps SABC and PRASA as well?

So, is the strike still on?

So, is the strike still on?

Apparently. Hoping to force the govt's hand.

I’m sure everyone here who has a job that’s about to be cut will also want to fight tooth and nail to keep it.

Just as non black people born after 1994 cannot be blamed for Apartheid, so too the people working at SAA that are striking cannot be blamed for the cANCer government

I bet they are shocked that nobody cares they are striking, because ultimately, there are plenty of alternatives to SAA.

Can't hold to ransom a non-monopoly.

This is why they want to get other airlines' staff striking too.

Is it dead yet?

I hope they fail dismally.

It haven't dieded yet.

It is on death bed, they must just cut the life support, right?

Your company is failing and you want an increase.
That's logical

I'm in two options for that.

First option is to let it die out, close it up and finish it off properly. The problem is that this will have a ripple effect on the economy as creditors will want their dues.

Second option is to shunt it into business rescue, cut all overheads to the bare minimum, and do retrenchments...

The first option is preferred, because the second option have the chance of getting abused for moar oinkage.

Unfortunately the unions will not see it, they don't understand income and expenditure. They think the State have money ready for use, anytime, anywhere.
