Eskom says it will act against striking workers

Eskom, already struggling to get enough power to the grid, says the strike by Numsa members working for the utility has made matters worse. Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha discussed this with eNCA's Sally Burdett. Courtesy ofThe power utility says this is what led to delays in planned maintenance and repairs.Workers went on a strike following failed wage negotiations.

"Eskom is an essential service company and by law there is no industrial action that is permitted," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said,"Eskom has to make sure its workers are at work and those who are not were given leave.""There are disciplinary processes and Eskom will pursue those. We will employ those mechanisms.”

Industrial action is not permitted against Eskom? Yet it has been permitted, since last week - why only now does Eskom say it will act? Why did you not take action on Friday already? It's an unprotected strike! Fire them now!

Strategic Management had to foresee this coming. Shouldn’t the wage negotiations have been addressed before the employees had to attempt to resolve this issue prior to an unprotected strike? Why wait to get to this point? Are this not strategically…🤔

And while the country is in darkness, the President is hob knobbing in Germany at G7 with the WEF clan! 😕

When? When the country is sitting at stage 8 loadshedding? When more businesses have gone under?

Should have last week already. This is economic terrorism. Fire them all.

Obvious, dictatorial state.

Decisively...Name and shame them. It is unacceptable conduct holding the country at ransom like that..

Impimpis

Lol. And will i be refunded? Eskom is a joke! Just pull the plug or put your greedy little fingers in it yourselves.

Why has it not b een done already we have been held ransom by these over stuffed staff workers.

Load of bullocks...

Good,akere they said Zuma must fall😏

How? By agreeing to demands. Paying them for striking. Rewarding them basically for criminal actions.

I hope by firing them. Tipical economic saboteurs!!😠
