My advice for MTN would be the same. They should just tell the Nigerian government to fsckoff and continue opperateing as if nothing happened. The problem is that they entertain greedy government officials.

Your life is basically just sending everybody to **** off and expect no repercussions?

Sasol will just get fines higher than the cost of BEE, will look bad in the media, what do they have to win by doing what you say?

I'm surprised you're still alive or not working in government. The ostrich policy and let's ignore problems is their motto no?

So, is there enough white people working there, to cause an disruption?

Also, the title seems a bit racist, should've read "Solidarity goes on strike" :)
The question is more along the lines of how skilled are the workers that are protesting in terms of what jobs they're walking out of.
You can have half of the lowest workforce strike and if the job is simple enough, you can keep production going at a reduced capacity.
If the higher position employees leave, such as the engineers who do the checks during shutdown, you either lose a very large amount of productivity per employee, or you might even have to shutdown entirely as there is no one to oversee the lower position employees and making sure they do their work (including doing it correctly and sorting out the problems that are above their pay-grade), or in the case of the shutdown checks, no one to approve that everything is in order, so no work done at all.

That's also usually why you never have those in higher positions strike as the company should know not to mess with them as they are not easy to replace and represent a very large production value in comparison to the average employee.

There's thousands of white people to cause a disruption on production. Significant production loses could result in the company restructuring workers including those represented by Solidarity. The union will probably go on strike again against retrenchments.

And we all know how passionate MyBB forumites are about strike resulting in job losses.

I forbid any company from hiring Rietrot to advice on such things, his advice is bad.

A kind of burning I can get behind. Hell, they can probably sell some boerie rolls while they're at it.

I work for a large corporate, 15 years or so ago we all got share options, a shitload. I was a level one staff member and when I cashed it in I paid of my house and car with the 500 000 Rand I walked away with. My BEE colleagues on the same level walked away with 1.3 million each. I was quite OK with that. The law requires these kind of things and there is nothing I can do about it. But, getting nothing based on race I have never attended a strike in my life but at the age of 52 I will join if it happens to me.

LOL. They are burning charcoal and meat and damaging animal remains with their teeth instead of Sasol infrastructure? Burning charcoal instead of tyres. The workers probably intimidated fellow employees from entering the braai area instead of blockading the Sasol entrance gates.

What an opposite anticlimax indeed. So different from the nations national behaviour in a strike. Must be because of the unions lack of solidarity to the countries standard practise and norms.
The only weapons of meat destruction I can see is forks and knives.
