Johannesburg - Members of South Africa's largest union NUMSA could down tools in a wildcat strike at state-power utility Eskom if disputes over wages and other issues are not resolved, its deputy general secretary Karl Cloete said on Thursday.

NUMSA has 11,000 members at Eskom, where workers are generally not allowed to strike by law because they are considered to provide “essential services”.

Cloete gave no time frame for a possible Eskom stoppage, which is not part of a wider strike its members plan to embark on from July 1. - Reuters
 
The cycle of strikes.

As soon as one stops, another begins. So go the wheels on the gravy train...
 
With unemployment at an all time high they should tell them to pack their bags and piss off. Plenty of people are out there wanting jobs.

There are many skilled Electricians and other technical experts without jobs!
 
The way they carry on you would swear they had no skills anyway.
 
Fire the lot of them, hire people that actually want to work, make it clear that of they even try something vaguely similar then they'll be replaced by the next unemployed person looking for a job, I think setting a precedent will offset the task of training in the long run.

BTW aren't Eskom employees already over paid?

Not really a problem with wildcat strikes though...just just fire the lot of them and immediately re-hire the ones you want. Easy way to do some spring cleaning.

Not that Eskom would every do such a thing...
 
Just plain terrorism, idiots should be locked up
