Unions were put in place to assist both parties in the work place but there are times when common sense should take over.
It is alleged that this union members has a dispute with the government therefore all it’s members are now involved whether they work for the government or not.
So this is where we are now in 2021 we have strike action which effects some department that has nothing to do with the dispute.. God help moving forward.
