We cautiously welcome Ramaphosa's stimulus package - COSATU

[Seriously]

Government must intervene to stop SABC, SAA and ESKOM’s planned retrenchments of thousands of workers.

We applaud the commitment to fill badly needed health post vacancies. However these 2200 posts are a drop when compared to the 149 000 public service vacancies.

It is also about time we hear from business what will they bring to the party. It cannot simply be about a government stimulus for profits only on the one hand and an investment strike on the other. Business must heed COSATU’s demand for s moratorium on retrenchments.

Much more is needed to turn around this stagnant economy, to see economic growth rates of 3%, to reduce our intolerable unemployment rate of 36%, to create the badly needed 100 000 new permanent, decent jobs each month.

[Seriously]

So far out of touch with reality!

No better proof that the stimulus package won't do shyte for the economy than a communist labour union supporting it.

Cosatu would rather business folds complete into bankruptcy than retrench.
