Well done to the Unions for pushing us one step closer to having no real shipping industry at all.

I also want to know when one of these entities like Transnet will grow a backbone and literally tell the unions to fsck off... "Here is the increase percentage, you can either take it or fsck off and find another job since you all be fired".

"now"?

Where you been the last couple of years. They barely managing.

Lockdown and then all the Trucking load of nonsense nail in the coffin.

Barely managing is better than proper fscked...

They're proper fscked now, I have to wonder how much longer the big boys (MSC, Maersk, etc) will tolerate this bullshyte before just docking in other ports like Moz, Namibia and then making it the local guys problems to get their stock from those locations.

Wonder if mybbs gps package will be delayed further by this?

Transnet workers going on strike — brace for shipping delays

Labour unions at South Africa’s state-owned ports and freight-rail company threatened to begin a strike this week after rejecting its latest wage offer, a move that may curb shipments of coal and other minerals.

The United National Transport Union served Transnet SOC Ltd. with a 48-hour notice that its members plan to stop work from Oct. 6, according to a statement.

Do those increases come with kpis and clauses about striking again before the end of the agreement I wonder.

You say it like KPI's and agreements are worth anything to the unions.

 

[G'Wobblez]

next year they will just strike again.

Do those increases come with kpis and clauses about striking again before the end of the agreement I wonder.

The kpis are already there, there is also generally a dispute resolution process that the parties must follow if there are disagreements in how things are done. But as we have seen sometimes it is the employer who renege on the agreement so it is not always the employees who go rogue, at times employers have to be dragged to court to implement what they have agreed to.

Things are not always done in good faith from both sides.

Let's also not pretend like employers don't take chances.

It's not over yet. SATAWU is still striking and you just know they're going to intensify it now and stop anyone else from going to work

They will come around, once the big union signs it's usually the end of the strike, continuing with it for long will no longer be sustainable, so they might get some concessions here and there to better the offer but I don't think the percentage will change.

Collective bargain usually means no KPIs applicable and in the public service and SOEs they even insist on bonuses despite KPIs not being made. If there KPIs no one at Transnet would be getting increase for the next 20 years, but the workers claim they weren't party to the destructive corruption that reigns supreme there even when they allowed themselves to be bought by the corruptive with unaffordable increases in the past.

That is something that we need to change, increases for just existing should not be the case really, and there needs to be an attempt to get the workers "bought into" the performance of the company as an overall entity.

There should be a base level of performance that needs to be met for standard increases in my opinion, and then there can be performance based out of band increases for those who meet additional harder KPIs.

I hear you and agree with you.

But I also understand the other side, where nobody is individually responsible and gives excellent deniability for the next iteration of the same old, same old. That's why we are where we are.

GROUNDUP OP-ED: Under-fire Transnet workers deserved better

Transnet’s workers are not the ones responsible for the mismanagement of the company, or for its capture by private interests, or for grand-scale corruption.

GroundUp seem to have totally lost the plot..

Bunch of woke retards in this instance.
