Loadshedding is back

[Polymathic]

Yeah given that they're asking for 15% then they would probably still strike and even expect bonuses. But Eskom have been spoiling them all these years so they almost always expect to get ridiculous increases

It's time they automate

 

[The_Librarian]

Strangest thing...

Power itself is a necessary service. Any attempts to disrupt power supply is seen as an attack on the People of SA (terrorism). They should get the army to protect the workers who want to work and make sure the plants run as they should. Why don't they get the army in?

Voters. [_] <-- they want their voters to fill in the crosses for them.

Realpolitik.

I 100% agree with you. The problem is that the unions have the ANC and its allies by the balls and consequently there will be little or no intervention from Government.

They have balls?

Ok ok, a titty-twist.

South Africa will again be affected by load shedding on Friday, Eskom has said.


In a tweet, Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said that stage 1 load shedding would take place between 11:30 until 21:00 due to "multiple trips of its power generation units".

One has to ask when the government is actually going to step in to resolve this....

So Eskom and their workers are voted in. I missed that somehow.

As a state owned company, the management is appointed by the government. So indirectly, yes.

 

[rietrot]

I don't see much of the strikes covered in the news?

I know it's Friday - but leave the shrooms for later

Court declares Eskom strikes unlawful

Now, what are the chances the unions will obey the court?

So let's say the sky falls and the DA or EFF becomes the majority party, all the workers will stop striking?

Nope. They'll all get the **** fired out of them for unprotected striking and violence and **** then...
