SA Post Office workers to strike, again

The South African Post Office said it is hoping to prevent a “planned strike” in Johannesburg on Thursday.

As much as i can empathize, they brought this on themselves from previous strikes, fire the lot

 

[XennoX]

Wtf? You want to fire the lot for demanding what was promised to them?

Well they did run the entire company into the ground with their striking.... but I agree, firing is wrong. Rather shut the whole post office down and retrench the lot.

The only way to stamp out these strikes is to follow the letter of the law in their previous settlement with them.

Post Office - another financial sinkhole of the government. Should have been privatised a long time ago.

CWU leader: "Who are we?"
Weccas: "We are post office workers"
CWU leader: "What doe we want?"
Weccas: "More maaaney!"
CWU leader: "When do we want it?"
Weccase: "This is a best-effort service. We will try anything in our power to deliver our demand to you as soon as possible, but cannot guarantee compliance with any fixed schedule due to circumstances beyond our control!"

This is about as retarded as it gets.

Strike > SAPO runs into cashflow problems > pays workers late > strike about late payment

I mean I get that they're angry about not being paid but they created this mess.

They only have theirselves for boxing themselves in. Franking my dear, I don't give a damn.

Yarr, strike until employer is bankrupt... then strike cos your employer is unable to pay you as your strike caused your employer to go bankrupt.

Whoa!!!! Now that's a first class royal male that would remember that process.

This thread is becoming crowded with opinions, hiding good puns - how do you feel lately about that?

 

[Seriously]

Shut the freaking useless POS institution down. Their workers do not want to work anyway!

 

[konfab]

The post office needs to be hacked into pieces and privatized. It is not doing anyone any good in its current state.

 

[ShaunSA]

The government needs to stamp down on this sort of thing.

Impossible. They created the system so they can maintain power to enrich themselves even more!

The country cannot afford more strikers going postal.

 

[GreGorGy]

The country cannot afford more strikers going postal.

That's part and parcel of their failure to honour the agreements.

 

[Fuzzbox]

Payback is a bitch served COLD.
You lot have been stealing and opening packages for years and now you want to strike.
Good riddance I say.
Fire the whole lot and close down this money losing pit.
You created this mess now live with it as no one uses this useless service anymore.
VIVA email for statements ETC.

Talk about pushing the envelope.
