The unions screwed up the UK. Maragaret Thatcher sorted them out before they went too far. SA does not have a president with a pair of balls that big. Unions have yet to realize that the ANC's will have the biggest effect on workers !!! They don't realize that workers are better off when the economy booms !!! Why ... because they are blind Communists !!! We’re will the debt go when unbundle. Sure one division end up with surplus staff - where will they go because they will be only skilled for that particular field

EDITORIAL: Unions’ arguments against Eskom reforms fail the logic and history testAt a time when most people realise there is a national crisis on hand, organised labour is offering war instead The trade union is fighting for only one thing the word “restructuring” because currently Eskom has those structures for example Matshela Koko was head of Generation as some point if my memory is still in tact Soon there will be no workers left in your union and you will become persona non gratia. Not surprising.
