Strike action today - 4 August 2008

Question

Ok, so my office is a block from the Pretoria Station and I am a bit scared. It was reported that the strike will be peaceful. But how peaceful do you think it is going to be? I have been getting e-mails saying that nobody is safe and all kinds of things.

What is your few on the strike? Do you think that it will help, because the whole world is struggling, not just us.

Answer 1

No freedom of choice at all

None of my team rock up for work so I'm early back home

Who do they think they are ,will they pay us the money lost ,for there actions ,,, no I don't think so but it is the workers that suffer again because they will not get pay for today but Cosatu and there fat cats get pay for this action how good is that.

Answer 2

I do hope that it will do something to open the eyes of the Government to the hardships we normal folks are having to struggle with

Answer 3

Talk and talk and talk, that is all that happens!

The ANC have never listened to the people who voted them into power and never will!

I will not be surprised if COSATU turns into a political party and wins the election next year!

Currently COSATU runs the country!

Answer 4

Given the latest war talk by COSATU and ANCYL, I doubt that this would be a peaceful strike.

Answer 5

I work across the street from the city hall and now there is some people gathering, buses dropping people and singing

Answer 6

Strikes always get results!
