Our unions are barking up the wrong tree

The blame for the beleaguered state the country is in can be laid squarely at the doors of the unions and the ruling ANC, writes

he South African unions are making a lot of noise to protect the interests of the few. They must tell government where the money must come from to keep the bloated work forces in government and SOEs in employment.

In addition, how can the unions expect private companies to keep labour employed if they are making losses?

Instead of all the threats, marches and strikes, why don’t the union leaders come up with some positive, workable plans?

In this way, it would help grow the economy and create more jobs.

Unfortunately, I do not think any of them have the capabilities to do so.

South Africa needs someone very strong to deal decisively with the unions.

I feel very sad indeed for those who will lose their jobs.

You know who not to vote for.
