Oh boy, this is serious... N I don't think most people realize how this one might play out long term... In South Africa roughly 40 of people are indirectly employed by the government including Transnet staff... Currently the wage increase offer on the table is 2 percent below inflation... Everyone is up in arms because of the strike by workers at Transnet claiming it's selfish to impact the economy etc... Here's the crazy thing nobody seems to realize though... Whatever the workers settle for will set the level for everyone else... So looks like South Africa will be interesting to watch from outside in the next few years when everyone who demands the striking workers suck it up and get back to work get stuck with below inflation pay rates...
