Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu)

Striking employees are currently without pay for two months and are sacrificing with their lives whereas there is a hidden agenda which is not disclosed by the Union leaders. The strike of this sort should not be allowed by the Government because it immediately negates the countries constitution which gives inhabitants a freedom and rights to work to uplift their situation. This unguided strike worsen the employees situation and has now opened a big gap in their lives which will not be closed in two years for now. The damage in individual's lives increase with the time period of strike. It is really without sense for now. The effects will be born for a long period. It is very much unfortunate to strike in this manner when there is 25% of unemployment. The timing is not right. The strike is not wanted at all because it does not fix any situation but only causes damages.
