On 6 March 2006 will be a full strike by Transnet employees throughout South Africa. Yesterday's strike brought the railway infrastructure to a standstill. The members of Satawu are protesting about the proposed restructuring (laying off workers to give the remaining few more work and make more profit by reducing the quality of service) of Transnet.
Here is a news article from the www.kfm.co.za website:
