#NationalShutdown or whatever
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
Yesterday Saftu and Cosatu had their #NationalShutdown campaign and most analysts described it as nonsensical. The issues such as load shedding and rising living costs are real, but is it necessary to create awareness about them? Nor are these problems solved by protests. But I think there is a bigger socio-economic and political picture to be seen. South African trade unions are in a struggle for survival for various reasons and this can still affect us all. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
